I have a wsdl file provided by third-party, and i need to use it as-is and expose the contracts in this wsdl to be consumed.

My problem is that my project has its own namespace, and this wsdl comes with a different namespace, and i have no idea how to get the job done.

Appreciate any help

EDIT

The third-party (gov) expect to call the service with their namespace

Example:
I have a WCF Service Application with namespace: local.namespace

WSDL:

<wsdl:definitions xmlns:ns0="http://com.gov.update.ws" targetNamespace="http://com.gov.update.ws">

    <wsdl:message name="updateStatus">

        <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="xsns:updateStatus" xmlns:xsns="http://com.gov.update.ws"/>

    </wsdl:message>

</wsdl:definitions>

Received SOAP:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <soapenv:Header>

      <ctx:clientContext xmlns:ctx="http://ClientContext">

         <ctx:clientUserId>123456</ctx:clientUserId>

      </ctx:clientContext>

   </soapenv:Header>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <p820:updateStatus xmlns:p820="http://com.gov.update.ws">

         <transactionId>123456</transactionId>

         <status>Accepted</status>

      </p820:updateStatus>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

In general, it is relatively common that we use the client proxy class to call the web service by adding service reference. As follows.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/accessing-services-using-a-wcf-client

You could also generate the client proxy class by SVCUtil tool.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dotnet/netframework-3.5/aa347733(v=vs.90)

I have made a simple demo, wish it is useful to you.
Server:

namespace Server8

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string args)

        {

            Uri uri = new Uri("http://localhost:1900");

            BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();

            using (ServiceHost sh=new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService),uri))

            {

                sh.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IService), binding, "");

                ServiceMetadataBehavior smb;

                smb = sh.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>();

                if (smb==null)

                {

                    smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior()

                    {

                        HttpGetEnabled = true

                    };

                    sh.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

                }

                Binding binding1 = MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexHttpBinding();

                sh.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMetadataExchange), binding1, "mex");

                sh.Open();

                Console.WriteLine("Service is ready...");



                Console.ReadLine();

                sh.Close();

            }



        }

    }

    [ServiceContract(Namespace ="mydomain")]

    public interface IService

    {

        [OperationContract(Name ="AddInt")]

        int Add(int x, int y);



    }

    public class MyService : IService

    {

        public int Add(int x, int y)

        {

            return x + y;

        }

    }

}

So the WSDL address is,

Http://localhost:1900?wsdl

Svctutil Tool.

Svcutil http://localhost:1900?wsdl /directory:D: /namespace:”mydomain”,”LocalProjectNamespace”

This command would generate a client proxy class in local D partition and replace the web service's namespace with "LocalProjectNamespace", it also generates a client configuration file(xml),which describes the service's binding and endpoint information.


And then we call the web service via client proxy class.

static void Main(string args)

{

    ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient();

    try

    {

        var result = client.AddInt(23, 55);

        Console.WriteLine(result);

    }

    catch (Exception ex)

    {

        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());

    }

}

Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.
