Adding WSDL files from file directory

Question

I have WSDL files that I need to add to my project as web references. They are located with .wsdl extensions in my local directory. I have never added them like this so I am not really sure how I can add them as a web reference.

I haven't been able to find something useful. Any ideas?

Answer 1

1. Right click on project and select add Web Reference

2. In dialog Box type on the URL File://test.xsdl

Answer 2

No answer was accurate for me, but for VS2019, to add a wsdl file as a service reference, I right-clicked on the project -> add -> connected services -> Microsfot WCF Web Services reference -> browse the .wsdl file. This will generate the code to call the referenced services.
