Dynamically consuming WCF Service from Service URL or WSDL

Hi,

I have an requirement where I have to consume WCF(svc) services in my application dynamically, i.e. I will have a textbox in my application where the user enters the URL of the service and hits a button which will make my service consumable in my application. I will list out the methods of the service on the screen.

To be more clear, I need to implement the same pop up that appears in visual studio which shows up adding reference that shows all the methods and interface when clicked on button by putting url in the textbox beside it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sagar

I hope the services publish metadata, or I suspect the answer will be 'you can't'.

Perhaps this might help:

This uses interface of the service to implement, my need is user will enter the url in textbox. The implementation you provided needs reference or interface to be added.
