dotnet-svcutil - Generate Proxy Code with directory path

dotnet-svcutil helps you generate WCF Client proxy code for target service, for example:

dotnet-svcutil https://localhost:8081/OrderManagement/OrderManagement.svc

It will create a directory named ServiceReference, and generate Reference.cs file contains proxy code within ServiceReference directory.

ServiceReference directory will be created at the root from where you have executed above command.

If we run this command from the root of the .Net Core Project directory, it will create the same directory named ServiceReference.

Usualy we want it to generate proxy code under Connected Services directory.

For this we need to use the parameter d to provide directory to create files in.

dotnet-svcutil https://localhost:8081/OrderManagement/OrderManagement.svc 
               -d "Connected Services/MyOrderManagementService"

This will create the output at path Connected Services/MyOrderManagementService within the current directory where you are executed it.
