System.Web.Services.Description Namespace

Contains classes that enable you to publicly describe an XML Web service by using the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Each class in this namespace corresponds to a specific element in the WSDL specification, and the class hierarchy corresponds to the XML structure of a valid WSDL document. For more information about WSDL, see the WSDL specification.
