Splitting Up WSDL issue

[Mauricio Arroyo]

Hi,

I used the excellent article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnservice/html/service08202002.asp
from Scott Seely to have a webservice interface defined in a separated wsdl
file. It works just fine, but when I try to navigate to the wsdl from Visual
Studio I get a message "No Ports or Methods were found on this page.". I'm
still able to add the web reference and every thing works fine. (if I point
to the asmx it works but one of the methods is not showed)

The problem is that using another tool, one of the clients is not able to
add the reference to the wsdl, and it may be related to this "No ports..."
message. Is it some way to avoid this message and have the Visual Studio to
look for ports and Methods in the Binding file?



Thanks in advance.

Which version of Visual Studio are you running? Visual Studio .NET 2002 had
a limitation where it cannot reference other files your WSDL depends on
(<import> references in the <types> element in your WSDL file). This
limitation has been removed from VS.NET 2003.

The other thing you can do is use the command line tool wsdl.exe.

Eric, thank you for your answer. I'm using VS.NET 2003 Framework 1.1, the
tool my client is using is GeneXus (I don't know it). Maybe the reason VS is
not seeing the Ports (showing the No Ports message) is related to why
GeneXus is not able to get a reference to my webService. Any help would be
really appreciated.

Thanks again.
