Generate the CS classes for a SOAP web service
-
The last time I programmed against a SOAP web service was 2005 and it looks like things in Visual Studio have changed. Is it still possible to automatically add a reference to a SOAP web service and have it generate the necessary C# files to call the service? It seems that it only wants to create REST references. But then, I'm not sure I know what I'm looking at.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Hi. I'm new here, I saw your question and ask it from chat GPT. this is the answer that I took from it: It is still possible to add a reference to a SOAP web service in Visual Studio and have it generate the necessary C# files to call the service. However, the process may have changed slightly since 2005, reflecting advancements in technology and the increasing popularity of RESTful APIs. In recent versions of Visual Studio, the process of adding a reference to a SOAP web service involves using the "Add Service Reference" feature. This feature allows you to specify the URL of the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) file associated with the SOAP web service. Visual Studio will then generate the client-side proxy classes and other necessary artifacts based on the information provided in the WSDL. To add a reference to a SOAP web service, follow these steps: In Visual Studio, right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and select "Add Service Reference" (or "Add Web Reference" in older versions of Visual Studio). In the "Add Service Reference" dialog, click on the "Advanced" button. In the "Service Reference Settings" dialog, click on the "Add Web Reference" button. Enter the URL of the WSDL file for the SOAP web service in the "URL" field and click "Go". Visual Studio will retrieve the WSDL and display the available web service methods. Specify a namespace for the generated client-side proxy classes and click "Add Reference". Visual Studio will then generate the necessary C# files and create a client-side proxy class that you can use to interact with the SOAP web service. However, it's worth noting that with the rise of RESTful APIs and the increasing adoption of modern web service standards, such as JSON over HTTP, SOAP-based web services have become less common in recent years. RESTful APIs are often preferred due to their simplicity, scalability, and compatibility with a wider range of platforms and technologies. Therefore, the tools and features in Visual Studio may focus more on RESTful web services. Nonetheless, Visual Studio still supports SOAP web services and provides functionality to work with them. If you're unsure about the options available in your specific version of Visual Studio, consulting the documentation or seeking assistance from the Visual Studio community can provide you with more detailed and up-to-date information. I don't know if it is right or not, but maybe help you to find it out.

Most ChatGPT answers are not good enough Please don't use it, especially for a subject that you are not experienced in.
Is it really rigmarole at all? It was a Instructions I think. In any case, thank you very much for your attention and response.

Visual Studio generate soap calls
To create CS classes for a SOAP web service in the context of website design and development, you would typically define classes that represent the various data structures and operations involved. These classes would include the service contract interface, data objects for request and response, and the implementation class. The service contract interface specifies the methods available to clients, while data objects facilitate data exchange. The implementation class contains the logic for handling incoming requests and generating responses. These classes form the core components of a SOAP web service in the context of website design and development.
