| .NET Framework and Web Services - Part II |
| C# Corner |
| Here we are going to learn how to create a WebService using VS.NET (using VB.NET.) and Consume the Webservice from VB.NET Client. This Article is based on VS.NET RC1 Release. |

| .NET Framework and Web Services - Part III |
| C# Corner |
| In part II we learned how to create a Web service and how to consume it from a VB.NET client. Here I am going to explain Web methods. |

| Common .NET Libraries for Developers |
| MSDN |
| Identifies and defines many of common namespaces that you will use when developing .NET applications, and provides examples of the most common classes and methods in those namespaces. |

| Creating a Simple XML Web Service |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In this article, Doug builds a basic XML Web Service using the ASP.NET Framework. Doug will progress into building more complex XML Web Services, but he has to start somewhere. |

| HOW TO: Write a Simple Web Service Using Visual Basic .NET (Q301273) |
| Microsoft Support |
| This article describes how to write a simple Web service, called MathService, that exposes methods for adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying two numbers. |

| Return Custom Data Types From Web Service Methods |
| Visual Studio Magazine |
| Most Web service demos you see out there consist of a service that takes in simple types (such as numbers or strings) and returns simple types. However, most Web services you'll create will have to deal with complex types such as structures, objects, and arrays. |
|
| Speed Up Web Services With Caching |
| Visual Studio Magazine |
| Web Service execution can take a long time to complete, not to mention consume expensive system services while processing a client request. .NET can optimize your Web Service execution, however, by caching the results of previous invocations. |

| Transactions In Web Services |
| C#Today |
| The ASP.NET Framework enables transactional processing in classes, Web Forms and Web Services. We can use transactions to ensure an entire set of functionality successfully completes, or all data changes are rolled back if a portion of the functionality fails. In this article, Doug Seven looks at how we can implement transactional processing in a Web Service. The syntax for enabling transactions in a Web Service is different from the syntax for doing the same in either a class or a Web Form. |

| Using SOAP Header to Authenticate a Web Service Consumer |
| C# Corner |
| In this Article we are going to use SOAP Header to authenticate the WebService users. Let’s consider a WebService that allows consumers to get the order details based on order ID (which they placed from the web). |

| Using UDDI at Run Time |
| MSDN |
| This article walks through using UDDI at run time and discusses how UDDI, both the public registry and UDDI Services available in Microsoft Windows .NET Server, can act as infrastructure for Web services to support client applications. |
|
| Using Web Services Instead of DCOM |
| MSDN |
| This document examines the advantages of using XML Web services over DCOM and demonstrates how to implement an XML Web service and consume it with a Microsoft .NET client application |
|
| Using Web Services to Accept a Binary Large Object |
| ASPToday |
| Binary Large Objects, also known as BLOBs, are variable data types used in most modern database management systems to store files.large binary or character data. Web Services provide a way to work with BLOBs to distribute some of the processing involved in the converting and editing of large text or multimedia files. In this article, Robert Paxman will demonstrate how to store and retrieve BLOB data from an SQL server and how to create and use a Web Service to accept and convert an image file into a smaller thumbnail image. |

| Web Methods Make it Easy to Publish Your App's Interface over the Internet |
| MSDN |
| Web Services are a great way to accept and manage contributions to a public clip art library, digital music catalog, or corporate knowledge base. Since the SOAP interface to a Web method operates over HTTP, contributors can easily publish content any time, from anywhere across the Internet. However, accepting binary content and managing content metadata through SOAP over HTTP presents Web Service developers with some interesting design decisions. This article discusses three ways to enable content publishing using Web methods. |
|
| XML Classes from Web Services |
| XML Magazine |
| Although Web services can be used to return simple types such as integers and strings, I'll focus on how different XML-related classes found in the .Net platform can be returned from Web services to allow consuming clients to integrate the data received into an application using technologies such as XSLT. After introducing a simple example of how the XmlDocument and XmlNode classes can be returned, I'll walk you through a news filter Web service that demonstrates why and when you may want to return these object types from a Web Service. |

| XML Web Service Caching Strategies |
| MSDN |
| Despite advancements in network and processor speeds, performance remains a key concern among application developers. So whether you are writing an XML Web service, pushing image bitmaps to a video card, or even engineering that next great processing chip, you will invariably want to consider utilizing a universal mechanism for improving performance: a cache. |
