XSD to Web Service

[Wm. Scott Miller]

I have to interact with a web service created by an external company. That
company doesn't have a WSDL. They have supplied me with a XSD and some
samples of both requests and responses to/from their web service. They are
using SOAP to package XML that adheres to the XSD they supplied. How do I
go about creating a client app in .NET to use the web service using what I
have? Is there a way to create a WSDL and/or proxy class to access the web
service and how do I go about creating that in .NET?

So far I've used XSD.exe to create a class file.

FYI:

1. Use XSD.EXE to generate a class file.
2. Create a new webservice on local machine that mimics server interaction
using class file from XSD
3. Surf to webservice?WSDL to get WSDL file.
4. Modify WSDL to now point to external server address.
5. Generate your client app from modified WSDL.
