Use WSDL EXE utility to generate a Web Service proxy from WSDL   You ll get a long C  source file that contains a class that looks like this        lt remarks  gt   System CodeDom Compiler GeneratedCodeAttribute  wsdl    2 0 50727 42     System Diagnostics DebuggerStepThroughAttribute     System ComponentModel DesignerCategoryAttribute  code     System Web Services WebServiceBindingAttribute Name  MyService   Namespace  http   myservice com myservice    public partial class MyService   System Web Services Protocols SoapHttpClientProtocol               In your client-side  Web-service-consuming code    instantiate MyService  set its Url property invoke Web methods

I would fire up Visual Studio  create a web project  or console app - doesn t matter    For  Net Standard     I would right-click on the project and pick  Add Service Reference  from the Add context menu  I would click on Advanced  then click on Add Service Reference  I would get the complete file path of the wsdl and paste into the address bar  Then fire the Arrow  go button    If there is an error trying to load the file  then there must be a broken and unresolved url the file needs to resolve as shown below    Refer to this answer for information on how to fix   Stackoverflow answer to  Unable to create service reference for wsdl file    If there is no error  you should simply set the NameSpace you want to use to access the service and it ll be generated for you   For  Net Core   I would right click on the project and pick Connected Service from the Add context menu  I would select Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider from the list  I would press browse and select the wsdl file straight away  Set the namespace and I am good to go   Refer to the error fix url above if you encounter any error    Any of the methods above will generate a simple  very basic WCF client for you to use  You should find a  YourservicenameClient  class in the generated code    For reference purpose  the generated cs file can be found in your Obj debug or release  XsdGeneratedCode and you can still find the dlls in the TempPE folder    The created Service s  should have methods for each of the defined methods on the WSDL contract   Instantiate the client and call the methods you want to call - that s all there is   YourServiceClient client   new YourServiceClient    client SayHello  World       If you need to specify the remote URL  not using the one created by default   you can easily do this in the constructor of the proxy client   YourServiceClient client   new YourServiceClient  configName    remoteURL      where configName is the name of the endpoint to use  you will use all the settings except the URL   and the remoteURL is a string representing the URL to connect to  instead of the one contained in the config
