The proxy provides the same operation as service contract but also provides additional methods for managing proxy life cycle and the connection to the service.Proxy contains all the information of the service like Address Binding and Configuration so that client knows how to communicate with the service. What security policies he has to follow and all whatever is dictated by the service to work properly. You can generate proxy by visual studio by adding service reference to the wcf service. This will automatically generate all the required files for you to consume the service. Other way is to use the SVCUtil.exe command utility to generate the proxy of a service.
