How to generate WCF service with SvcUtil.exe

Question

I am using SvcUtil.exe to generate IClassName.cs file from wsdl file and that is working fine. My problem is that I do not know how to generate ClassName.svc file using command arguments for SvcUtil.exe.

After running the SvcUtil.exe I would like to get WCF service like when you created from Visual Studio Wizard containing all classes *.svc, *.cs, and interface.

Thank You, Skrch

Svcutil.exe generates the service client proxy based on the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) from the service.

Open the visual studio command prompt and run the command

svcutil http://localhost/MyService/Service.svc  /Language=c#  /t:Code  /out:C:\Service\ServiceProxy.cs /config:C:\Service\ServiceProxy.config

it generates two files in C:\Service folder, the proxy file and config file,
