.net webservice, help with method parameters.

Question

When writing a .net webservice, can I use a existing xsd to be my parameters for my web service method. I want to point to the xsd and the web method will be created for me, instead of coding it. I am using vs 2005, framework 2.0. Thanks

Answer 1

See this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163800.aspx for more info on contract first development in .net web services.

The bottom line is it is possible but often requires more work and care than code first...

Answer 2

you can use xsd.exe to generate a class file from your xsd schema
