I modified my webservices and added one new parameter. I re-compile everything and when I ran in my localhost everything works fine. BUT when I deployed into my IIS server the wsdl is not being updated and it simply do not show my new parameter.
What do I have to do for my wsdl to be updated?
Right click on the web reference and click update. It will update the reference.cs file. Then compile and deploy. Make sure it reference the new reference.cs file.
When you say the wsdl is not being updated to show the new parameter how are you trying to access the wsdl? if you are trying to access http://myserver/myservice/service.asmx?wsdl and the updated wsdl is not showing up, try restarting the web application/website on IIS that hosts the service.asmx. If that doesn't solve it try redeploying the code. If on the other hand you are stating that a client application that is consuming the service you have hosted on IIS cannot see the updated wsdl you need to check the code of the client application not your service. If it has a web reference pointing to the URL where your service is hosted then you need to do what Azhar suggested and right click on the web reference and click update. If it has a proxy class generated by wsdl.exe then regenerate the proxy class by using wsdl.exe as follows
wsdl /namespace:MyCompany.MyApp.Services /out:C:\MyServiceProxy.cs http://myserver/myservice/service.asmx
and update the client project with the new MyServiceProxy.cs file which should contain the method with the updated parameters.

I am attempting to add a web service reference from an example project into my current VS 2015 C# project. This is what I have in the example project:
To move it over to my new project, I have attempted to copy and paste the "Address" field into my project by right clicking my project and selecting "Add Service Reference". When I do this I get the following error:
There was an error downloading 'http://myserver.com/MyServiceExample.svc?wsdl/$metadata'.
The remote name could not be resolved: 'myserver.com'
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://myserver.com/MyServiceExample.svc?wsdl/$metadata'.
There was no endpoint listening at 'http://myserver.com/MyServiceExample.svc?wsdl/$metadata that could accept the message.
This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.
See InnerException, if present, for more details.
The remote name could not be resolved: 'myserver.com'
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
How can I go about adding this service reference into my project? I have tried adding it in by using the VS 2015 CMD Prompt with the WSDL /verbose command, but this does not seem to be working. I have the project files and wsdl files for the example, but I cannot get them to work on my solution.
Start your web-service project in iis express by launch debug session then when you get temporary url of your service (like http://localhost:8000/MyServiceExample.svc) you can retrive wsdl from it.
Just replace myserver.com part of url on new one when adding a service reference.
Here you can read how adding service refence is working but in general you need to retrive contract from deployed web service (wsdl) from which vs generates new classes.
Later you should change service url in web.config on deployed one.
I have been given a WSDL file from a provider and I have added it as a Service Reference to my C# project in Visual Studio 2013.
I can see the relevant classes I need but when I call the functions on them nothing is transmitting from my program. I have configured Wireshark to listen but no data is coming from my program when I run it.
Where in Visual Studio can I see the IP address/URL that the web service is trying to connect to? At some point I assume it establishes a HTTP connection, where can I see this code to check the URL/IP address?
The WSDL file does not contain the address of the service endpoint. You probably created a Service Reference or a Web Reference, which has created a client class for you. If you instantiate this client (lets call it ExampleClient) with the default constructor:
var serviceCLient = new ExampleClient();
Then the URI will be the path of the WSDL file you imported. This mostly works fine if you import a generated WSDL file file the actual service URI, but in your case, you need to tell it where the service is running. You can either pass the service URI in the constructor:
var serviceCLient = new ExampleClient("http://example.com/service/endpoint");
Or edit your app.config or web.config (depending on project type). It will have something like this:
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint address="C:\path\to\your.wsdl" etc etc etc... />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
And you should change the address attribute there.
For old style web references, you can right click on the reference in Visual Studio (under your project in the Web References folder, and select "properties". The properties screen contains a "Web Reference Url" which you can edit to point to the actual service URI.
I have created a windows service application with C# with .Net 2.0, and added a web service as
http://localhost/postIncidents.ws.php?wsdl
It has the method "ReportIncident". I checked the windows service in local environment.
It worked.
Before I deploy it I added below code to get the particular url from a setting file.
shids_client.shidsWebServer.ReportIncident r = new shids_client.shidsWebServer.ReportIncident();
r.Url = Constant.readUrl();
r.CallReportIncident(time,LocalIPAddress(),type,line);
After I deployed, I added the URL to my setting file as
http://192.168.1.1/postIncidents.ws.php?wsdl
After I check it, it didn't work. the following error was in my log:
"Operation 'CallReportIncident' is not defined in the WSDL for this service"
if i remove it, then it will not show the wsdl xml. it will show only a rendered page.
You use the ?wsdl flag so that Visual Studio can download the WSDL and generate the service proxy. When the proxy actually runs, it runs against http:///postIncidents.ws.php, not ?wsdl needed. So try removing ?wsdl from the URL.
Recently I've read an article about own WCF binding with Username and Password authentication.
Here is an article: http://webservices20.blogspot.ru/2008/11/introducing-wcf-clearusernamebinding.html.
This project "Clear Username Binding" works well. But the problem for me is that I want the WCF server to be host in WCF Service Host. (Like if you create in VS any service library from the template it will be run in WCF Service Host). I've done the next thing. I've created a new project (service library) and simply copy your service and contract to this new project. Then I copied the app.config system.serviceModel section and added referenced to ClearUserNameBinding project and MyUserNameValidator. That's all
Next, I run the client application. Everything was ok. WCF Service Host had been started and client application ended as I expected. But the problem is that now if I put a breakpoint somewhere in the service implementation (let it be somewhere inside of the EchoString function) and run again I always get a message in VS IDE "Unable to automatically debug WCFServiceLibrary". I really don't know what to do with this error and how to get rid of it, because I need the debugging to be available for me.
P.S. This error is appearing only when I use ClearUserNameBinding. If I use for example wsHttpBinding it works perfect. And of course I have <system.web> <compilation debug="true" /> turned on in my config file
Thanks in advance!
In visual studio put a breakpoint in the first line of the client and attach to the process "WCF service host". Then you could debug into its breakpoints. Not sure how to do it w/o attaching to another process.
Also you could try to use CUB not as a separate binding but as a custom binding. You will need to create the custom binding from code. Pseudo code:
var b = new CustomBinding();
b.elements.add(new TextEncodingElement())
b.elements.add(new SecurityElement() {SecurityMode="UsernameOverTransport"})
b.elements.add(new AutoSecuredHttpTransportElement())
My customer gave me a .wsdl file to access their webservices. Using VS2008 I can create a project, but I don't know how to use the .wsdl file in it.
You don't invoke WSDL file, you add service reference from the file.
To add reference, right click on the project, select Add Service Reference. Paste path to your wsdl file and hit Go.
If you want to use legacy Web Service client, select Add Web Reference and paste path to the wsdl file from there.
I recommend to use WCF (Add Service Reference option).
To use the service reference add code like this:
var serviceClient = new ServiceReferenceName.MyClassClient();
serviceClient.DoSomething();
You also need to update config file with the server URL that you customer should provide you with:
<client>
<endpoint address="http://UrlFromYourCustomerHere"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="xxx"
contract="MyServiceReference.xxx"
name="xxx/>
</client>
A Web reference enables a project to
consume one or more XML Web services.
Use the Add Web Reference Dialog Box
to search for Web services locally, on
a local area network, or on the
Internet.
After adding a Web reference to your
current project, you can call any
methods exposed by the Web service.
To add a Web Reference
On the Project menu, click Add Web Reference.
In the URL box of the Add Web Reference dialog box, type the URL to obtain the service description of the Excel Web Services, such as http:////_vti_bin/excelservice.asmx or http:///_vti_bin/excelservice.asmx. Then click Go to retrieve information about the Web service.
Note Note:
You can also open the Add Web Reference dialog box in the Solution Explorer pane by right-clicking References and selecting Add Web Reference.
In the Web reference name box, rename the Web reference to ExcelWebService.
Click Add Reference to add a Web reference for the target Web service.
Visual Studio downloads the service description and generates a proxy class to interface between your application and Excel Web Services.
