WCF generate proxy class through command line.

Question

User-1053422029 posted

we're using VS 2013 and the service reference is using the *.svcmap file instead of the *.svc file.

Pls show me how to generate the *.svcmap file from command line.
Because I need to update in the test environment where we don't have option of opening in VS and right click on solution then add service reference.

Use the svcutil.exe tool.

Update the web.config endpoint setting.  There is no need to create a new reference when deploying the application to different environments.
