How do you create a .wsdl file for a Web Service you are developing
using Visual Studio .NET 2003?

Hi,

         Adding a web reference to the web service will do that for you.

I never had to create a web service in 2003 (used remoting exclusively)...
but I do know that in VS2005 you can get the "at-runtime" generated wsdl
file by just running your web service project and clicking on the "Service
Description" link (or pointing your browser direcly to the web service app
url http://localhost/mywebservice for instance).

Maybe there's something similar in 2003?

Well normally you can reference the soap by just adding ?wsdl after the
webservice call


however it is possible to just create wsdl documents with this Framework
tool

and then you can create a proxy class out of that with this frwamework tool

If you have already written the web service, then using <url of service>?wsdl
will get you the WSDL
