ServiceDescriptionImporter::GenerateWebReferences Method

Compiles a collection of Web references to produce a client proxy or a server stub.

Namespace:  System.Web.Services.Description
Assembly:  System.Web.Services (in System.Web.Services.dll)

public:
static StringCollection^ GenerateWebReferences(
	WebReferenceCollection^ webReferences, 
	CodeDomProvider^ codeProvider, 
	CodeCompileUnit^ codeCompileUnit, 
	WebReferenceOptions^ options
)

Parameters

webReferences
Type: System.Web.Services.Description::WebReferenceCollection
A WebReferenceCollection of Web references to compile.
codeProvider
Type: System.CodeDom.Compiler::CodeDomProvider
A CodeDomProvider that specifies the code provider.
codeCompileUnit
Type: System.CodeDom::CodeCompileUnit
A CodeCompileUnit that specifies the unit into which code is compiled.
options
Type: System.Web.Services.Description::WebReferenceOptions
A WebReferenceOptions that specifies code generation options.

The services description document collection in each WebReference member of the webReferences collection should contain only ServiceDescription and XmlSchema objects. This method is unable to interpret DiscoveryDocument objects.

If any of the XML Web service methods in the webReferences collection share custom parameter or return types, those types are also shared among the proxy methods generated. This is an important advantage over the situation in which each proxy is compiled separately, because in that case such types do not interoperate.
