Provides a means of creating and formatting a valid Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document file, complete with appropriate namespaces, elements, and attributes, for describing an XML Web service. This class cannot be inherited.

Instances of this class can be created with either the new keyword or the static Read method, which parses a WSDL file and assigns its values to appropriate members of the class.
WSDL is an XML-based language for describing XML Web services. The ServiceDescription class corresponds to the root element, definitions, of a WSDL file. For more information about WSDL, see the specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl/.
The following example shows how to create an instance of the ServiceDescription class.
' Obtain the ServiceDescription of existing Wsdl.
Dim myDescription As ServiceDescription = ServiceDescription.Read("MyWsdl_VB.wsdl")
' Remove the Binding from the Binding Collection of ServiceDescription.
Dim myBindingCollection As BindingCollection = myDescription.Bindings
myBindingCollection.Remove(myBindingCollection(0))
' Form a new Binding.
Dim myBinding As New Binding()
myBinding.Name = "Service1Soap"
Dim myXmlQualifiedName As New XmlQualifiedName("s0:Service1Soap")
myBinding.Type = myXmlQualifiedName
Dim mySoapBinding As New SoapBinding()
mySoapBinding.Transport = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"
mySoapBinding.Style = SoapBindingStyle.Document
Dim addOperationBinding As OperationBinding = CreateOperationBinding("Add", _
myDescription.TargetNamespace)
myBinding.Operations.Add(addOperationBinding)
myBinding.Extensions.Add(mySoapBinding)
' Add the Binding to the ServiceDescription.
myDescription.Bindings.Add(myBinding)
myDescription.Write("MyOutWsdl.wsdl")
