ServiceDescription Class
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.
For a list of all members of this type, see ServiceDescription Members.

Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
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/.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example shows how to create an instance of the ServiceDescription class.
[Visual Basic] ' 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") [C#] // Obtain the ServiceDescription of existing Wsdl. ServiceDescription myDescription = ServiceDescription.Read("MyWsdl_CS.wsdl"); // Remove the Binding from the Binding Collection of ServiceDescription. BindingCollection myBindingCollection = myDescription.Bindings; myBindingCollection.Remove(myBindingCollection[0]); // Form a new Binding. Binding myBinding = new Binding(); myBinding.Name = "Service1Soap"; XmlQualifiedName myXmlQualifiedName = new XmlQualifiedName("s0:Service1Soap"); myBinding.Type = myXmlQualifiedName; SoapBinding mySoapBinding = new SoapBinding(); mySoapBinding.Transport = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"; mySoapBinding.Style = SoapBindingStyle.Document; OperationBinding addOperationBinding = 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"); [C++] // Obtain the ServiceDescription of existing Wsdl. ServiceDescription* myDescription = ServiceDescription::Read(S"MyWsdl_CS.wsdl"); // Remove the Binding from the Binding Collection of ServiceDescription. BindingCollection* myBindingCollection = myDescription->Bindings; myBindingCollection->Remove(myBindingCollection->Item[0]); // Form a new Binding. Binding* myBinding = new Binding(); myBinding->Name = S"Service1Soap"; XmlQualifiedName* myXmlQualifiedName = new XmlQualifiedName(S"s0:Service1Soap"); myBinding->Type = myXmlQualifiedName; SoapBinding* mySoapBinding = new SoapBinding(); mySoapBinding->Transport = S"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"; mySoapBinding->Style = SoapBindingStyle::Document; OperationBinding* addOperationBinding = CreateOperationBinding(S"Add",myDescription->TargetNamespace); myBinding->Operations->Add(addOperationBinding); myBinding->Extensions->Add(mySoapBinding); // Add the Binding to the ServiceDescription. myDescription->Bindings->Add(myBinding); myDescription->Write(S"MyOutWsdl.wsdl");
