WSDL.exe VS Microsoft.VSDesigner

Hi,

I am working a bit with Web Services at the moment and have recently come across something I need explained.  When a Web Reference is added to a client project the "Microsoft.VSDesigner" tool generates the proxy class for you.  SO, why would you ever require additional tools for Web Service proxy generation such as WSDL.exe..??  It seems a little redundant.  Is this just something for those too hardcore to use the .NET Development Environment and that are still writing code using Notepad..?

Cheers,
Jack

Totally agree - Developing in .NET without VS seems like way too big a headache and one that can and should be avoided.

Yup. It was okay to use text editors till ASP 3.0.
Surely not for .Net.

Thanks for the 'A'. :o)
