Update asp.net WebService reference from wsdl file? - asp.net

Is it possible in asp.net to update or create a web service reference from a wsdl file on our local drives?
If so, could you please describe it ?

Follow these steps.
Open the Solution/Project in Visual Studio
Right Click on Solution Explorer on the project for which you want to add web reference.
Select Add Service Reference. (This will open a Add Service Reference dialogue box.)
Click on Advanced... button located at bottom of the dialogue box. (This will open another dialogue box named Service Reference Settings.)
Click on Add Web Reference button located at bottom of the dialogue box. (Again a dialogue box Add Web Reference would appear.)
Enter OR Copy & Paste full path for the WSDL file from your local drive as the URL.
Click on Go button besides the URL box.
Edit Web Reference Name if you want to.
Click on Add Reference.
And you are done.

It's been long time from accepted answer. If you are using VS2019 you can simply click on the service and select "Update..."

No need to add the service as Web Reference. You can do it setting the "Address" Field as the path of the file, for e.g.:
c:\contracts\mycontract.xml
and then "Go".

VS2012 not showing images uploaded by controller

I created a page for uploading images,it works good,but when I want to show that uploaded image in a view I can't.
My images are stored in Images/products/{product name}/
In view I wrote
#Foreach(var item in product.images){
<img src="~/images/products/{productname}/#item.name" />
}
//my name spell are correct
In debug src has correct value but doesn't show image,
But when I give an URL from content folder it shows that image,
Even in solution explorer. VS doesn't show uploaded images and created folders by controller codes,
you might need to add permission to Images/products{productName} folder.
Open IIS Manager
Click on the web site or application that serves the images
Click the "Basic Settings link on the right - take note of the App
Pool name and cancel that dialog.
Click on Application Pools in the server tree on left In the list of
app pools - note the identity for the app pool with the name you
noted in step 3
Now in Windows Explorer, you can right click the image folders,
choose properties, and click the click the security tab. Find the
user associated with the identity used by the app pool. If it's not
there then there's no permissions If it's there, click on it and
look in the permissions pane to make sure "Read" is checked (or write/modify or even full control if you need).
you will need to repeat the step if you add sub folder manually on the Images folder
It's a best practice to save image on Content file since it by default already have read access. or another way is you could save your file on App_Data or hosting the file on cloud (with time limit to show for better security).

Adding global.aspx file

I am currently using IIS to host a simple website, and would like to know how to enable the 'Global.aspx' file? I need to know where I would define it, as all the tutorials talk about using Visual Studio, which I am not using.
File Global.asax should be placed on the root directory of your site. There is nothing else to do besides adding required code, you put it there and just work.
Just right-click on the project name displayed in the Solution Explorer, and choose Add New..., then choose Global.asax from the list displayed in the new popup window. It goes to the root of your application.
Here is further information: Where is the Global.asax.cs file?

Centralised web.config in Asp.Net

I have almost 20 projects in my web solution which include asp.net web application and windows service projects. These all project contains web.config and app.config respectively.
Now I want to remove this all files and want to place a single web.config file in the solution which will be accessed by all the projects.
Can anyone suggest me of doing this ? If yes then how the projects will call the web.config from the solution root ?
try to use Shortcut/link instead of physical files. to achieve this:
keep only one app.config file (the one you edit most frequently probably, does not matter from which project)
at each of the rest projects, remove existing app.config file, then right click your project (or the folder you want to place this app.config), click Add, then select "Existing Item...", at the popup, select the physical one you kept in step 1 and then click the arrow next to the "Add" button, select "Add as Link".
now then all the projects (except the one you selected) will reference the one you kept as a link (shortcut).

Eclipse helios Servlet creation wizard fields are blank

Am trying to create a simple servlet using servlet creation wizard in helios(eclipse). A popup opens up and when I type the class-name, at the top of the popup I can view a red cross mark which says 'The Source folder cannot be empty'. There is Browse bttn available, so when I click and go there, a popup opens but do not allow me to select anything in it. Please help me in this. Thanks
Creating Servlets by wizard only work for projects of type Dynamic Web Project. Truncate your current project and recreate it using New > Project > Web > Dynamic Web Project wizard.

Referencing code in VB.NET

I'm not at all familiar with VB.NET or ASP. I need to create a simple page which makes a call to a remote web service. I used the wsdl utility which comes with the DotNet SDK to generate a service proxy and write it to a VB file. Unfortunately I have no idea how to reference this code in either my ASPX file or the code behind VB file so I can create an instance of the proxy.
Edit: I should have qualified this by noting that I'm not using visual studio. I just coded up a .aspx with a .vb behind it and dropped it into an IIS location. Is there a way to do what you're suggesting outside of VS?
You need to add this code into your project so that it can be consumed.
Right click on your App_Code folder and select "Add Existing Item". This will bring up explorer. Use it to select the generated file and it will add it to your project.
Now you will be able to reference this code from within your page or code behind file
If there isn't an App_Code folder in your project, then right click on the project in solution explorer and select "Add New ASP.Net Folder"->App_Code
Or, instead of the wsdl utility:
In the solution explorer windows, r-click on the project, and select "add web reference". In the dialog that comes up, put in the url to the web service. In the web reference name box (lower right of that dialog), put in whatever you want to local alias for the service to be called.
So, if you put in a url of:
http://otherserver.com/otherservice.asmx
And, a web reference name of:
xyz
To use it, your code would look like:
dim x as new xyz
var = x.methodname()
