reading a WSDL file which is in XML format

I am attempting to read a WSDL page, similar to this http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ I am trying to get the operations, data types, input and output information and trying to do this all in C#. Is it like reading an XML file? Is there a tutorial on here, if so can you point me in the right direction.

call the ReturnOperationsParameters with WSDL path, and you will have everything you required

 public static void ReturnOperationsParameters(string fileName)
    {

        var reader = new XmlTextReader(fileName);
        var serviceDescription = ServiceDescription.Read(reader);
        BindingCollection bindColl = serviceDescription.Bindings;
        PortTypeCollection portTypColl = serviceDescription.PortTypes;
        MessageCollection msgColl = serviceDescription.Messages;
        Types typs = serviceDescription.Types;


        foreach (Service service in serviceDescription.Services)
        {
            String webServiceNmae = service.Name.ToString();

            foreach (Port port in service.Ports)
            {
                string portName = port.Name;
                string binding = port.Binding.Name;
                System.Web.Services.Description.Binding bind = bindColl[binding];
                PortType portTyp = portTypColl[bind.Type.Name];
                foreach (Operation op in portTyp.Operations)
                {
                    var operatioList = new SoapData();
                   // _soapdata = new SoapData();
                    OperationMessageCollection opMsgColl = op.Messages;
                    OperationInput opInput = opMsgColl.Input;
                    string inputMsg = opInput.Message.Name;
                    Message msgInput = msgColl[inputMsg];
                    MessagePart part = msgInput.Parts[0];
                    operatioList.OperationName = op.Name;


                    operatioList.NameSpace = part.Element.Namespace;

                    TreeItemSource.Add(operatioList);

                }
            }
        }

    }
}

public class SoapData
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string RequestXml { get; set; }
    public string ResponseXml { get; set; }
    public string NameSpace { get; set; }
    public string OperationName { get; set; }
}

If you have the URL of the location of a WSDL file, you can navigate to it with a browser, and it will show you the (XML) contents. You should also be able to add it as a (service) reference in a Visual Studio project (right click References -> Add Service Reference).

Once added as a reference to a project, you should be able to use Object Browser to view all the methods, properties, etc. WSDL is pretty old school, so there's a lot of references about it on the Web.

You should add a reference to the service by right-clicking your References folder and using "Add Service Reference". Give it the URL to the WSDL and it will create a set of proxy classes that you can call.

Do not use "Add Web Reference". It's obsolete.

WSDL is indeed an XML format. Here's the official definition for the 1.1 version:
