To discover an XML schema or a service description invoke the DiscoveryClientProtocol.DiscoverAny(string) method.
If the supplied URL points to a valid discovery document, the discovery document at the supplied URL is added to the DiscoveryClientProtocol.Documents and DiscoveryClientProtocol.References collection. Additionally, references within the discovery document are added to the DiscoveryClientProtocol.References collection, but not verified to point to valid discovery documents. To verify the references, point to valid discovery documents to invoke the DiscoveryClientProtocol.ResolveAll or DiscoveryClientProtocol.ResolveOneLevel methods.
