visual studio 2010 - How to create a single WSDL file from existing WCF service?

Question

How do I create a single flat WSDL file (with no external references from within) from an existing WCF service? This WSDL will be used (imported) into an older programming technology that only supports BasicHttpBinding. Please address your answer to a beginner.

Answer 1

You can now do this natively in .net 4.5 (beta). There is an option (?singleWsdl instead of ?wsdl) for telling the service to output everything in a single wsdl document. More info on the new stuff here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd456789(v=vs.110).aspx
