C# – How to include the own wsdl in the web service in C#

asmxcweb serviceswsdl

I have a .wsdl file that my web service (old asmx style) must implement. That is taken care of. When I publish the web service you can call it with ?wsdl parameter to get a generated wsdl.

How do I include my .wsdl file so that is the one that is returned instead of the generated one?

Is it possible to do with an attribute in my web service class?

Is it a given to stay with "old-style" ASMX? Or could you move up to WCF? That's really the most current webservice offering by Microsoft, and if you're doing something new and you're on .NET 3.0 or higher - why spend time on "old" technology?

In WCF, you could definitely define a static physical WSDL file to be used by clients connecting to your metadata endpoint (your "...?wsdl" URL). Not sure if you can do it in ASMX, too.

OK, on ASMX / .NET 2.0, you could of course always put the actual WSDL file under the root of your web site, and then just reference it like this:

http://yourwebserver/YourVirtDir/MyService.wsdl

I don't know if there's a way to "redirect" the

http://yourwebserver/YourVirtDir/MyService.asmx?wsdl

call to go to that fixed URL instead. I'm sure someone else will know, though!

C# – How to cast int to enum

From an int:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;

From a string:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);

// The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for enumerations marked with an [Flags] attribute
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(","))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException($"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration.")
}

Update:

From number you can also

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum) , yourInt);

C# – How to enumerate an enum

foreach (Suit suit in (Suit[]) Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit)))
{
}

Note: The cast to (Suit[]) is not strictly necessary, but it does make the code 0.5 ns faster.
