wsdl customization

hello there,

i'm facing troubles. client asked me customized wsdl definition comes out
of box when invoking http://mysite/myservice.asmx?wsdl
this client's requierement has changing names of tags; far i've been able
to change of them, i'm getting "ugly" errors.

basically i've been asked provide following customization:

1. namespace
format: "http://patrimonio.com.mx/" + businessobjectname  (all letters in lowercase)

2. service tag
attribute: name
format: "manage" + businessobjectname + "in"

3. binding tag
attribute: name
format: "manage" + businessobjectname + "in"

4. port tag
attribute: name
format : businessobjectname

5. port type tag
attribute: name
format: businessobjectname + "in"

note: businessobjectname = weatherconversion (for sake of simplicity)

so far i've been able change first four; when try set port type name and
update type attribute binding tag, i'm getting errors.

these code snippets:

[webservice(namespace = "http://patrimonio.com.mx/weatherconversion", name = "manageweatherconversionin")]
[webservicebinding(conformsto = wsiprofiles.basicprofile1_1, name = "manageweatherconversionin")]
[toolboxitem(false)]
public class weatherconversionws : system.web.services.webservice
{
     [webmethod]
     [soapdocumentmethod(binding = "manageweatherconversionin")]
     public string helloworld()
     {
         return "hello world";
     }
}

public class customedwsdlreflector : soapextensionreflector
{
    public string businessobjectname = "weatherconversion";

    public customedwsdlreflector() { }

    public override void reflectmethod() { }

    public override void reflectdescription()
    {
        servicedescription description = reflectioncontext.servicedescription;

        foreach (service service in description.services)
        {
            foreach (port port in service.ports)
            {
                port.name = this.businessobjectname;
            }
        }

    }
}

and wsdl generated ...

although want ... guess "type" attribute equal porttype name

<wsdl:porttype name="weatherconversionin"> ,
<wsdl:binding name="manageweatherconversionin" type="tns:weatherconversionin">

with change porttype name attribute:

foreach (porttype porttype in description.porttypes)
{
   porttype.name = this.businessobjectname + "in";
}

but if use wsdl.exe generate proxy class message:

error: element message named manageweatherconversionin namespace
http://www.domain/weatherconversion missing.

this when try update type attribute binding tag make equal the
name attribute of porttype tag ...

foreach (binding binding in description.bindings)
{
   binding.type = new system.xml.xmlqualifiedname("tns:" + this.businessobjectname + "in");
}

and compile when try debug proyect following message:

system.argumentexception unhandled user code
message="cannot find definition tns:weatherconversionin.  service description namespace  missing.\r\nparameter name: name"
source="system.web.services"
paramname="name"

thanks in advance

if read documentation of soapextensionreflector , you'll find wasn't intended you're trying do.

soapextensionreflector part of tools chain used soapextensions. idea extension added on service adding attribute web method. then, reflectmethod method of soapextensionreflector called, see attribute on method, , add extensibility elements wsdl. note intended adding own elements, not modifying elements created microsoft or others.

on client, importmethod method of soapextensionimporter see added elements, , use them add attributes client proxy code being generated. note how importmethod has single parameter, of type codeattributedeclarationcollection - can add attributes.

finally, attribute added (presumably soapextensionattribute) cause soapextension loaded on client.

result add attribute [mycompressionattribute(true)] on server, , have [mycompressionattribute(true)] added client-side proxy classes, mycompressionextension on server talk mycompressionextension on client.

btw, did read using soapextensionreflector modify existing wsdl elements?

wcf is web services. not 2 separate things.
use wcf new web service development, instead of old asmx or obsolete wse
use file->new project create web service projects
