Summary
In this chapter, you’ve seen how to create an XML Web Service in pure ASP.NET and a second service using a legacy COM component hosted by the .NET framework. You have created several types of consumers for the XML Web Services, including Windows Scripting Host scripts and an ASP.NET page. Along the way, we’ve covered the techniques and technologies of XML Web Services, such as WSDL, SOAP messages, the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit, the service discovery utility (DISCO), and UDDI project. Although we’ve covered a lot of ground, XML Web Services are so flexible, universal, and complex that whole chapters or books could be devoted to the individual technologies.
