  Big picture question - This works. Am I doing anything basically wrong?

  Nov 27, 2012 03:28 PM|LINK

  I haven't looked at web services since I completed my MCAD cert back in 2005(?).  Now I'm in a new job running Visual Studio 2012 and I've been told to whip up a fairly simple web service. 

  In general all our software is targeting framework 4.0 so far as I know.

  I first went into VS2012 and created a web service project after selecting 3.5 in the dialog. (Apparently the only way you can.)  I then compiled it in 4.0 and published it to my local machine, after setting the application pool to 4.0 as well.  I then wrote a demo web app in 4.0.  I added a 'Service Reference'.  (A 'web reference' is obsolete in 4.0?)  After some trial and error I was able to call a service method successfully.

  I admit I've got some serious reviewing to do but in the short run, can you see anything seriously wrong with what I've done?

  Hi bchernick,

  After some trial and error I was able to call a service method successfully.

  It seems ok.

  And you can try custom a method and call it from the client to test if it works as expected.

  Best Regards.
