It sounds like you're just using ASMX based webservices, correct?

If you want to generate a WSDL on an ASP.NET/ASMX site, you can run the web application and hit the ASMX URL with the querystring "?WSDL". So if your service name is

http://myserver/myservice.asmx

then you can hit

http://myserver/myservice.asmx?wsdl

Save the page locally and you can send it to whomever needs it. Exposing the WSDL is enabled by default, the person or company who needs to consume the WSDL can generate it by hitting the URL as well.

Use Wsdl.exe as suggested by Pranay Rana and put it on the server.

To access web service on a client .Net side create a service reference in visual studio to get the client proxy.

To generate wsdl file, you must use wsdl.exe from visual studio command prompt. But if you expect to use wsdl in your solution projects, in visual studio, you can click on project, choose add web service/service reference -> choose your service from solution or url and then VS automatically generate all file for you
