Because I was frustrated and could not figure out how Microsoft wanted the framework to be used. I was new to both WS and WCF at the time. getting WCF configuration working seemed more like a voodoo incantation than any other programming I've ever done.

And no I could not get .NET to generate types from the WSDL and I knew about the tools provided for that. They didn't work and I wasted a lot of time on them because everything I read said they should work.

I used a DSL because that's what I knew and because I had already wasted too much time.

I've since learned to avoid situations like this but that's a whole 'nother comment.
