title: How to reference a WSDL file using Visual Studio Code?

  <p>I'm using Visual Studio Code (latest update, v1.8 November 16) and I need to create a call to an external web service described using a WSDL and XSD file. I want to do that using the aforementioned editor and preferably not have to compose all the proxies and enveloping myself.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible or am I out of luck on this one?</p>
  
  <p>What would be the simplest alternative if it's not doable in VS Code? Are we talking about generating the classes and calls using VS15 and copying over the files or is there a neat workaround I'm not familiar with?</p>
