Hi Gary,
As for accessing webservice , the two means you mentioned( VS Add
webreference and wsdl.exe) are identical.
For general usage, both of them are ok and the VS "Add WebReference"
provide a more clean and convenient user interface.
The WSDL.exe is a commandline utility which can help you specify some more
advanced command options:
#Web Services Description Language Tool (Wsdl.exe)

Also, for those files generated in VS project(after add webreference), most
of them are used by IDE. For actual webservice method call, the generated
proxy class is enough.
Hope this help clarify some. If you have any further questions on this,
please feel free to post here.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
