The wsdl command line utility is presented in the below location. (For visual studio 2012)

The utility takes different parameter, some examples given below:

wsdl http://URL/Service1.asmx?WSDL

Once you run the above command by default it will generate Service1.cs file in the below location.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools

You can also change the name of the Service1.cs file like below:

wsdl /out:myProxyClass.cs http://URL/Service1.asmx?WSDL

By default it will use C#.Net language.

You can also generate file in VB.Net like below:

wsdl /language:VB /out:myProxyClass.vb http://URL/Service1.asmx?WSDL
