Examples of WEB
service using Visual Studio .NET
Let’s go through
some example code of WEB services in C# using Visual Studio.
Hardware/Software
requirements:
Disk Space: around 500M of free disk space will be needed for installing Visual
Studio .NET 2003 and for writing some sample code.
OS:
Windows 2000(with latest Service Pack) or Windows XP Professional (XP HOME
edition supports limited functionality for Visual Studio .NET).
IIS server: Internet Information server is
part of the operating system installation. But this may have to be reconfigured
from Windows configuration options.
Web Services are developed and deployed on a Web Server and their URL is advertised
so that "Internet" clients can discover and make use of their
services. Even though that Web Server can be Microsoft IIS, or Apache, or any
other such server, at this point in time, the .NET framework only supports
deployment on Microsoft IIS.
