I have tried to find out the use of disco file, but i didn't find the good answer. As per my finding, disco file is used to find asmx file located in the current working directory.

But that information is already present in WSDL file. My question is if we have path of WSDL file, then also whether disco file is required or if we have WSDL file on client side, then do we require disco file.

This article is a bit outdated, but maybe it'll explain what you are searching: Introduction to .NET Web Services[^].

[Edit]
Actually this MSDN article does a nice job at explaining what it's all about: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc302073.aspx[^].

DISCO looks like a derivative from "Discovery", Microsoft technology used to discover Web Services.

This is the MSDN introductory article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc302073.aspx[^], it explains how discovery is performed and used.

This is a help page on the tool:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cy2a3ybs.aspx[^].
