Converting a WSDL to C# using dotnet core

Install dotnet core

1. Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download and install
2. If using ZSH (z-shell), add these to your config (.zshrc)
   1. Add to your PATH export :$HOME/dotnet
   2. Add to the bottom export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet
   3. Optional Add an alias for svcutil at the bottom alias dotnet-svcutil="dotnet svcutil $1"
3. Verify dotnet is installed and working from the command line
   1. Open terminal and run dotnet --version
4. Install dotnet-svcutil globally: dotnet tool install dotnet-svcutil --global

Create a project

1. Create a new directory where you want to generate the files (ex: mkdir wsdlcsharp)
2. Enter the dir and initialize the project
   1. cd wsdlcsharp
   2. dotnet new web

Process the WSDL

1. Save the WSDL file locally or use the WSDL URL if available for the following command dotnet-svcutil [WSDL File or URL] (ex: dotnet-svcutil ../ws_1.wsdl)
2. Look in the directory, you should have a ServiceReference folder with a References.cs

Open References.cs in your favorite editor.
