Svcutil Tips

Two answers in one today on the subject of svcutil.

How do I merge together configuration files like Visual Studio does with multiple web references?

Use svcutil.exe with the /mergeConfig option.

How do I pass credentials when accessing metadata from a secure endpoint with svcutil?

You can create a configuration file for svcutil.exe that allows you to specify options such as credentials just like any other application. If your credentials can only be set through code rather than configuration, then create a behavior that sets up the credentials and add that behavior to the configuration file for svcutil.exe.
