I am prototyping some ESX integration and needed to add a reference to the ESX web service, but couldnt remember what the URL was.

So…. if you need to access the ESX from a Visual Studio project, You will need to add a Web Service Reference, and point the URL to the following link

https://<your host>/sdk/vimService?wsdl

That will give you aproxy object that you can now work with.

Watch for more ESX/.NET posts here shortly.
