Dynamically call web service from WSDL-is there a way?

[Chris Bardon]

I'm trying to figure out a way to dynamically call a web service based
on a WSDL file, and have had very little luck so far. After looking
at the proxy class and noticing that it just uses the Invoke method of
the base class, I thought that a generic class that called Invoke
would be an ideal solution. Unfortunately, it would appear that
trying to invoke a method does not work unless the bindings are set on
the proxy class, and there appears to be no way to do this at runtime.

I did find one solution that dynamically compiled proxy classes, but
there has to be a better way to do this. The end result is that I
want to be able to have the user provide a WSDL file, then dynamically
build a dialog that allows the user to call any method from that web
service.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've checked it out (this was the solution that dynamically compiled
proxy classes). Isn't there a better way to do this though?
Recompiling the proxy at runtime seems to be a little excessive to me.
