Configure ASP.Net client for 3th party webservice secured with certificate & signature

Question

I'm trying to create a client for a 3th party webservice from scratch. I have a working solution in soapUI which uses a certificate with signatures like in the image below.

enter image description here

I'm very new to SOA & SOAP and my main question is how do I start with this and where by using .NET 3.5 & ASP.Net. The service is linked to my project by using "Add service reference" but what now?

Please see the [wcf](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/wcf/info) tag as a starting point. — John Saunders, Feb 18 '13 at 19:47

I solved my problem but encountered 10 problems since I'm new to it.

For example "Timestamp must be signed error in response", you can read the solution here.

Generally, a disposal web service consumer class will be created for you in the namespace you provided when configuring the service reference. The default namespace for such consumers will be under ServiceReference1, and the client will be named with the convention WebServiceNameClient. That consumer will have member methods representing all requests that can be invoked on the web service, for instance:

C#

My.Project.Root.ServiceReference1.WebServiceNameClient client = new My.Project.Root.ServiceReference1.WebServiceNameClient();
string action = "GET";
int id = 1;
var result = client.DoWebServiceWork(action, id);

VB.NET

Dim client As New My.Project.Root.ServiceReference1.WebServiceNameClient()
Dim action As String = "GET"
Dim id As Integer = 1
Dim result = client.DoWebServiceWork(action, id)

-1: WCF client proxy classes are one of the very few places where you should not use `using`. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/573872/what-is-the-best-workaround-for-the-wcf-client-using-block-issue – John Saunders Feb 18 '13 at 19:42

I know how to use it but I don't know how to configure the signature & certificate. – Tom Kerkhove Feb 19 '13 at 07:12
Is this a client certificate installed for the local machine or current user's store? – lsuarez Feb 19 '13 at 16:32
