To change the default ASMX WSDL help to show derived types, open %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config or %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG depending on your runtime. On line 1075 change/add:

if (type.ContentModel != null) {
    // Get the base's qualified name
    XmlQualifiedName name = ((XmlSchemaComplexContentExtension)type.ContentModel.Content).BaseTypeName;

    // Find the definition for the base
    XmlSchemaComplexType baseCT = (XmlSchemaComplexType)schemas.Find(name, typeof(XmlSchemaComplexType));

    // If we found the definition for the base...
    if (baseCT != null) {
        // ...write out the base type
        WriteComplexType(baseCT, ns, encoded, depth, writeXsiType, soap12);
    }
}
