title: SOAP Connection WCF
body: <p>I am connecting to a 3rd party API. They have provided me with a WSDL file which i have added by using a web reference. Is it possible to connect via SOAP and send multiple messages across the same connection?</p>
  
  <p>I have created the client from the proxy classes but there doesn't appear to be a Open() or a Close() method. Does the client connect and disconnect when a method is called? </p>
  
  <pre><code>SampleService client = new SampleService
  
  client.SampleMethod();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I have added a "Service Reference" from the WSDL file. The client is constructed from the "PortType" in the WSDL file. There inst a Close() or a Abort() method. The only method on SampleService.client is SampleMethod()</p>
