Hi I need to consume WCF Services without using Web References and Svcutil(which provides wsdl class ).
I want to develope a programme in which users can type a url and the method-name and define its input and output parameter datatypes.
How can I consume WCF Services prgrammatically(or consume at runtime ) and not to use those ways(I mean Web References and svcutill).

any idea whoud be appreciated.
I wish I asked clearly.
sorry, english is not my first language.
Thanks in advance.

You can't. You either need the service reference, or you need to use svcutil to generate the appropriate files for you. It sounds like you're trying to use a web service without permission from its owner.

I used to use below code to consume web services
string soap =
@"
<soap12:envelope xmlns:xsi="" http:="" www.w3.org="" 2001="" xmlschema-instance""="" xmlns:xsd="" xmlschema""="" xmlns:soap12="" 2003="" 05="" soap-envelope""="">
<soap12:body>
<sum xmlns="" http:="" tempuri.org="" ""="">
<p1>1000</p1>
<p2>4</p2>

";

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/Calc-WebService/Service1.asmx");
req.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"";
req.Accept = "text/xml";
req.Method = "POST";

using (Stream stm = req.GetRequestStream())
{
using (StreamWriter stmw = new StreamWriter(stm))
{
stmw.Write(soap);
}
}

WebResponse response = req.GetResponse();
And now I need to call WCF Services like this or some thing like thsis

Hi, did you manage to resolve this? I have also been looking for a similair way to consume WCF and can't seem to do it either. Every solution even JavaScript solutions require the wsdl generated proxy :[
