Re: Proxy creation - why is there more than 1 way?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Two reasons that I can think of:

One reason is that Visual Studio is just a tool for creating .NET apps.
..NET apps can be developed with software other than Visual Studio (see:
Notepad, etc...). The .NET Framework SDK provides the tools needed to build
..NET apps to those that do not have/can't afford Visual Studio.

The other reason really boils down to how you want to use the web service.
If you are only going to use the service in one application, adding a Web
Reference through Visual Studio will create the proxy class and, when the
project is compiled, the proxy class will be compiled into the project's
assembly rather than to its own. However, if you need to use the web
service from multiple applications, it would probably make more sense to
generate the proxy class manually with WSDL.exe and compile it to its own
assembly that can be referenced where it's needed.
