If your already know how to consume web services with .NET you can skip this section. Otherwise, the screenshots below guide you through the steps that are necessary to create a new .NET project.

Step 1: Select Add Service Reference... from the context menu of your recently created project.
Step 2: Select Advanced... in the "Add Service Reference" - dialog.
Step 3: Click Add Web Reference... in the "Service Reference Settings" - dialog.
Step 4: Enter the URL of your PTV xServer (exemplarily used: PTV xLocate Server) and click on WSDL file.
Step 5: Give your web service a name, which shall be used as the namespace. Finally click Add Reference, in order to add the service to your project.
Step 6: Now, you are ready to generate your first application connected to the corresponding PTV xServer.
