programmatically call a web service from a test application - wcf

I am writing an test application to do a load test on my existing WCF service.
There can be numerous clients calling the WCF service.
How do I write code to generate several clients calling the WCF service.
Any lead or forum or blog will immensely help.
Thanks

I have not used it myself, but the WCF Load Test might do the trick.

You can load test web service using SOAP UI. Free Version is here

What is the advantage of using Web API in wpf?

I need to calling our C# Methods from another server to perform some Action. I use C# in both servers. One is our Service Application, another one is a WPF application where I consume my Service.
Prefer I use a WCF or WebAPI service for Service Application?
Most People prefer to use Web Api, but web doesn't expose metadata for creating proxy by service.
which one is simple and better choose?
You may use either WCF or WebAPI, if multiple platforms (Mobile, Web, Other Service) are going to interact with your service, then I would recommend Web API, otherwise you may use WCF. Similar discussion has already happened in another question, please refer this link, hope this will be useful

Requesting data from WCF Webservice with Qooxdoo

I have a qooxdoo web application which should be able to request data from a WCF web service. The WCF service uses SOAP. I'm currently looking for a way to set up the communication between my qooxdoo application and the WCF web service.
Is there a way to get this done? I saw that qooxdoo is supporting REST and I'm looking for something like a SOAP module in qooxdoo.
Thanks in advance!
There's an ancient contrib, probably unmaintained, at http://svn.code.sf.net/p/qooxdoo-contrib/code/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib/Soap/0.5.1/. You might not be able to use it right away, but I think the source code there will need just a few changes to become usable.

Consume a web service using WSE3.0 or WCF?

I have to use a number of functions provided by a government web service. I have no idea what they used to implement this service. Could have been COBOL for all I know.
My problem is that I've been trying to access this service using the security features provided by WSE3.0 but have had no luck. I'm consistently getting errors regarding the certificates.
After some research I've realized that WSE3.0 is essentially defunct and I should be using WCF. But, I'm only writing a client and most literature seems to refer to the services themselves.
Is there even such a thing as using 'WCF' to write a client? Should it matter which I use?
Thanks in advance.
Sure, WCF is a great choice for writing a web service client. Here is how to create the client ("add service reference"). After this you need to create the binding (just like in the service samples).

Creating a restful service in C# hosted by IIS

I want to create a restful web service that can accept json and returns json responses on a Windows server written in C#.
This particular service will actually have a long running background thread, so a WCF service hosted in IIS won't work (as far as I can tell, IIS will stop and restart the service on/after each request).
In general, I do not really even like WCF since I don't like dealing with generating proxy classes and updating service references down the road.
How can I accomplish this?
Well, with respect to WCF, is a technology already proven to help you build robust services, during your software design process you can design the service to keep state, hosting singleton instance, etc, so your impression of WCF services are somehow incomplete.
Now, regarding the restful approach, the technology used nowadays is called Web API, you can see some examples in the following website : http://www.asp.net/web-api , this will help you to avoid the tipical WSDL and generating proxies that you are talking about, and you can have bare-metal RESTful queries like "(http://myapp/orders/?id=1) that could return a json object with the orderid=1
Here you can have info for the instantiating mode in WCF services: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163590.aspx

VB.NET: How can I remap the soap.location property of a web service at runtime?

I have a web application I'm deploying at multiple clients. Each client will be consuming a web service that was developed by a third party and is hosted at each client location. The soap.location will be different for each deployment.
I am looking to avoid having to do separate compiles foe each client.
This blog post has a potential solution but is missing a crucial element; how to make the client use the derived class for the soap calls.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
