Is there anyone who can show me the way to call a method through a web service by REST way.
I am using C#.NET, ASP.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 for my application and to add a web reference i have only WSDL file.
I want to just CALL a Web Service method in a REST way.. (I dont know how does it differ from SOAP call ?).
Do i need to add anything special in my code so that it becomes a REST way call of a method instead of SOAP ?
I have read lots of theory about this on internet but coudn't find any technical detail about to implement this.
Please provide me technical details to make this happen.
I want exact code to achieve this.


Thanks in advance.

Hi mit_ce,

Since you have WSDL file, you can use WSDL tool to generate web service proxy class:

How to: Generate an XML Web Service Proxy 

Web Services Description Language Tool (Wsdl.exe)

While you get proxy class, you can develop it via proxy class.

 Hi Guang-Ming Bian - MSFT,

Thanks a lot for replying this post.
I have already used this tool and created a proxy class file. I just want to call the method which is already developed in a REST way.. But i don't know how the way of calling by REST method is different from SOAP way ?

I want also technical details about how this call would be possible from an C#.NET application. There are so many theoretical articles available on internet but not even a single doc provides any technical implementation.

Please suggest me how to call my web service with REST method.

Regards,
Mit.
