Failed to create proxy from WSDL to VS2017

Question

I have a WSDL that I am trying to create a client proxy from Visual Studio 2017.

• Right-click project name (WinForm)
• Add> Service Link
• Insert WSDL adr
• Click OK

Now I have 1 error and 20 warnings

Error

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Error Custom tool error: Could not generate code for service link "ServiceReference1". Check for other errors and warnings. Messages for Details. WindowsFormsApp1 c: \ users \ Me \ source \ repos \ WindowsFormsApp1 \ WindowsFormsApp1 \ Connected Services \ ServiceReference1 \ Reference.svcmap 1

Warnings (some of them)

SoapUI 5.3.0 can generate proxies from the same WSDL, and I can also generate it using the Web Reference (compatibility mode 2.0) in VS2017. A later solution, however, does not work for me, because I have code from v1 of this WSDL that I want to reuse.

Edit:

Here is the WSDL, add it as a service referee in VS 2017, and you should see the problem: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AskujIssKpne6170QEQdCLrkG8-u

Answer 1

• you must download wsdl locally using a browser and then follow your rest steps
• Right-click project name (WinForm)
• Add> Service Link
• Paste the local WSDL path and click OK

Update: If the above path does not work. You can try another way - Create an XSD.exe web proxy using the following command

wsdl.exe [path To Your WSDL File] //in visual studio command line 

• This will create proxy classes that you can copy / move into your project and use.
