    Dear Sir,

    Can we create a shared functions in a web service?

    If yes then how? I tried to add one but it was not accessable.

    Thanks

    ?? Why would you not be able to use a shared function:

     In class file 'DBFunction':

    Shared

     Function ReturnHello() As String

    Return "Hellooooooo"

    End Function

    In asmx file:

    <WebMethod(Description:="Say Hello", CacheDuration:=120)> _

    Public Function SayHello() As String

    Return DBFunction.ReturnHello

    End Function

    Works fine, unless i've misunderstood your question?

    Even I have tried the same thing. In my web service instance which I created in my web page, I was not able to view any function declared as "Shared" . The reason which I gess shared methods cannot be used in cases where you need to maintain state between several calls to an object. Not sure about this :-(
