I have been trying to generate a Proxy class in VB.NET using a WSDL file for an Apache Axis SOAP Web Service.
They have provided me the WSDL file and when I use the WSDL.exe command (In Visual Studio 08) and point it to the local path I get an error.
wsdl /language:vb c:\Orders.wsdl
(I am trying to create a .NET Client that consumes the SOAP Web Service Hosted on Apache Axis 2)
The Error
Unable to import binding 'OrdersSoapBinding' from namespace 'urn:company:orders:schemas:OrderTypes:1.00'.
-Unable to import operation 'placeOrder'
-The element 'urn:company:remtp:schemas:PlaceOrderRequest:1.00:PlaceOrderRequest' is missing
if you would like more help, please type 'wsdl /?'
If I use the svcutil.exe I also get an error message…
svcutil.exe C:\Orders.wsdl /t:code /l:VB /o:"C:\Orders.VB"
What is causing the problem?
Your help will be much appreciated, Thank you.

Best Answer
Looking into the wsdl file you provided, You'll see references to four xsd (xml xchema document) files: they contain the type definitions and validation rules needed by svcutil to create the proxy.
So, You need those xsd files too
