What is a .DISCOMAP file?
A .DISCOMAP file is a type of file known as a DISCO Discovery Output File. It is created by a program from Microsoft called the Web Services Discovery Tool, which is also known by its file name, Disco.exe. This tool is used to find and gather information about web services that are built using ASP.NET technology. When you use this tool to search for web services at a specific web address (URL), it saves the information it finds in a .DISCOMAP file.
The information inside a .DISCOMAP file includes important details about the web services discovered, such as where to find the service descriptions. These descriptions are usually in files that end with .DISCO or .WSDL. These files tell you how to interact with the web services, like what functions you can call and what kind of data you can exchange with them. A common name for a .DISCOMAP file is "results.discomap." If you have a .DISCOMAP file and want to open it to see its contents or use the information inside, you will need specific software. The program designed to work with .DISCOMAP files is Microsoft Visual Studio, version 2022 or newer. Microsoft Visual Studio is a development environment, which means it's a program that developers use to create, debug, and manage their software projects. When you open a .DISCOMAP file in Visual Studio, you can see the details of the web services that were discovered and start working with them in your projects.
