I am trying to use wsdl.exe to create the proxy but I get the message that the document at the specified location was not recognized as a known document type. my command prompt command was:


wsdl C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebService1\MyWebService.asmx?w sdl

and the location of my web service is

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebService1\MyWebService.asmx

if I use thee URL I get the message that the file is not found! status 404....

Please Help!!!

You need a path to a local copy of the wsdl file itself or a URL. Can you browse to http://localhost/WebService1/MyWebService.asmx from your browser successfully? If not then either IIS isn't running or something else is wrong. Once you have fixed this the providing the URL http://localhost/WebService1/MyWebService.asmx?WSDL to wsdl.exe should work.
