A .NET
Library to Dynamically Call Web Services at Runtime
by thinktecture's
Christian Weyer
Version 1.6
(Download link at the end
of the article):
Have you ever thought of invoking your Web Services
dynamically without having to generate a client-side proxy class
at design/compile time with WSCF,
wsdl.exe or Visual Studio?
No need to know the exact Web Service description and endpoint at compile/design time.
Just get your WSDL, specify the service (binding) to use and the
operations to call, and voila! The library can be especially
useful in testing scenarios.
DynWsLib is provided in source code.
Major features:
- Asynchronous invocation support
- Web proxy support
- User credentials support
- Communication timeout support
- Multiple bindings support
- Out parameters support
- Access to dynamic assemblies' temporary path
- Soap message access disabled by default
- Numerous bug fixes, code refactored
- Improved test client
Known Issues:
- Still no prime performance
- Still no documentation (cheating with
GhostDoc,
though ;))
- Test UI does not support out params
Feel free to leave any comments, flames, or rants

Special thanks to all testers (too many to list here, sorry).
