Normally the proxy file will be given by the service provider or you should create by pointing the respective webservice. In your case you are calling a page which return a xml as a reponse. I just want to confirm are you really call a web service? Have you coded any thing if so share that one also. It will use to give a quick solution

First of all in order to call the web method you should refer the web service's proxy in your project/class. Also you should add some configuration elements in your web.config file which gives some details about the web service address etc. check that you have followed these steps otherwise let us know.
