title: Salesforce .net API integration
body: <p>I'm a little confused. We downloaded the WSDL file from Salesforce and created a web reference to it using a file path as suggested. It created what I understood to be the proxy classes, but not the SforceService class. </p>
  
  <p>Someone else suggested that you have to use the WSDL.exe to generate the class file which I did and it now works. </p>
  
  <p>What I don't understand is why? </p>
  
  <p>Didn't the process of created a web reference configure the proxies as needed? Why the extra step? </p>
  
  <p>Any advice? </p>
