Open Visual Studio command prompt and move to client application folder using change directory command and type

svcutil.exe http://your_service_url/your_service_name.svc?wsdl

This will generate a configuration file (output.config) and a client class. Client class name will be your_service_nameClient Next you need to copy the <system.serviceModel> section from output.config to your App/Web config. Now your client application is ready to consume the service. You can create client class object and invoke service methods.

Hope this will help you

You'll need to start the svcutil.exe process -- it could be done from a program, but it will generate source code, not binary code.
