Is there a good tool for creating real contact first in wcf.

Hello everybody

WCF is described as a contract first approch, even though you dont
generate the code from the xsd or wsdl

Im working on a project where someone is supplying me with the WSDL.
I coded a interface from it and and got the datatypes by running the
wsdl through svcutil

Now im creating a client by generating a stub, the problem is that the
original wsdl and the one exposed by my service do not look alike...
dont get me wrong, the service wsdl do still reflect the original,
however it has lost a lot of the restrictions etc.

My question..

Is there a way to generate service code for WCF from a wsdl, and keep
all the restriction information, or do I simply have to wait for better
one to one support for wsdl to wcf.

Ofcause I can generate stub code form the original wsdl, but I guess
that this will not change the restrictions for the client stub either.

WSDL isn't the only type of contract out there. You shouldn't think of
WCF merely as a web service tool. Programmatically it looks feels MUCH
more like COM. In COM and WCF, the contracts are Interfaces, not WSDL
files. The OUTPUT of WCF *can be* WSDL, but output is never "first".
So, that's not what you use for contact first. In WCF, when we say
contract first, we mean you need to write the interfaces first
(Interface == Contract).
