You're in the
dotnet web services
group:WSDL visual generation tool
dotnet web services:
I have to design the WSDL files of a bunch of XML Web Services. But, unfortunately, I am not very keen on writing the WSDL file line by line, and moreover be aware of the whole standard specification in details. I will be very happy if there is a visual tool, which can do this for me. Does anyone know such kind of tool (if it is free, this is going to be awesome)? Thanks in advance. Regards, George Ivanov
Hi George,
Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup. As for WSDL document, if you're .NET framework sdk or VS.NET ide, it'll automatically generate the wsdl document for your webservice class. If you want to manually generate WSDL xml document, as far as I know ,the XMLSpy tool provide such functionality. In addition, you can also try searching on the gotdotnet site on some .NET specific webservice tools: #Web Service Tools http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/tools/web_svc/default.aspx Hope this helps.

Hi Steven,
Thanks for your reply. My goal is to write the WSDL file manually because I want to put additional headers, types and SOAP messages (I want to have a valid XML schema which will verify te SOAP messages that I am gonna dispatch / receive). Having these in the WSDL file, VS.NET indeed will automatically (or manually through wsdl.exe) generate the Web proxy class having full-blown header properties etc. However, what I am actually looking for is a tool that will "guide" me so that I can define first the SOAP messages with their headers, operations and stuff, but after will validate the whole schema and will define the additional entities like for example parameters passed to operations etc. GotDotNet site has good tools indeed but they however does not offer the functionality that I am looking for. Altova indeed has this Web Services studio, but so far I haven't reviewed it. Probably I should. However, I will appreciate if you have other propositions :) Thans again for you reply!

Folks,
I found the tool I was looking for - it is named WsContractFirst. It actually follows Microsoft's recommendation of writing WSDL contract first and most of all is free. Check it out at: http://www.thinktecture.com/Resources/Software/WSContractFirst/default.html A simple tutorial how to work with this Visual Studio 2003 add-in can be found here: http://www.thinktecture.com/resources/software/wscontractfirst/default.html I managed to create the WSDL files I was planning using both this tutorial and the add-in itself. One drawback that I find is that this tool so far is not ported for Visual Studio 2005, but I guess that soon the its creators will fix this.

Thanks for your followup George,
Glad that you've found the one. Actually the tool you mentioned is supporting developing webservice through the Contract-First approach. Here is one MSDN article discussing on this: #Contract-First Service Development http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/05/ServiceStation/ Hope this also helps.

Hi Steven,
Actually I found this tool when I read exactly this atricle. There is one update on WsContractFirst tool - today they released version 0.6 which now supports Visual Studio 2005. Enjoy!
