web service

Is there any limit to the number of methods you can put into a web service?
Could you for example have 200 methods or more? We are working on a massive
system that we would like to use web services to provide functionality to
remote users... thanks!Have you considered Remoting (whicn can be hosted within IIS) instead of
WebServices?
If your clients are .Net, the remoting would be favored.
If your clients are .Net (and others, asp, vb6, java), then WebServices
would be preferred.

among other sites.

If you're using .Net 3.0, you have more options.

Would remoting work with Compact Framework also? We were planning on having
some PocketPC apps with of course reduced functionality and then .NET apps
running on the workstations.. (nothing that isn't .NET 2.0 native) Thanks!

web service on a standalone (with no localhost)

is it possible to include a web service dll with your application and
call its' methods without having an internet or localhost connection?
I realize the whole point of web services is the connect thru a server
(remotely or locally), but say you've created a big web service dll
and would like to include it in an application that would run on a
customer pc with no IIS running? is it possible with or without
work-arounds?

thanks...Eych,

No, you'll have to take the code and use it in the application without it
being defined as a web service.

thanks, I figured that'd be the case...however, someone was saying
that I could add the dll that's automatically created by building the
project as a regular reference and use the web service that way...I
tried, but I don't have access to the methods in my web service, just
some generic ones (New, Finalize, Dispose, etc.)

Eych,

I just found this article and thought of your question.

The article is about how you can use cassini web server to run an asp.net
app from a cdrom. Not that you would want to run your web service from a
cdrom, but if you can run a web site from a cdrom you should be able to use
a similar technique to run it from a file on the hard drive...

Web service stopped working

Hi,I have two web applications that run on the same server. Oneapplication publishes couple of web service methods. The otherapplication consumes this web service. Everything was working fine.Last week we moved our applications to a new server, behind a firewall.Ever since I get this error message from the second application thatconsumes the web service "The underlying connection was closed: Unableto connect to the remote server." Is there any firewall setting that iscausing this?Thanks.Well, try turning the firewall off... does it keep happening?

Hi,

I got the same problem so I deleted the web reference and added it again and it started working fine :)

The problem is that ASP.NET 2.0 built in server uses different ports to access the server. So, the port that you used yesterday might not be valid today.

I can't turn off the firewall and test it. its a hardware firewall,I don't have access to it. If I can be sure its the firewall blockingsome port, I can ask the ISP guys to open up the port.

I tried deleting and adding the reference. It did not help.

I would try using a packet analyzer or port monitor to see what ports the service is trying to use.

Web Service/Page Methods , ASPX page and GridView

We have a Grid View in a page that displays nicely formatted data (a
Status Report).
In another application we are sending out Alert emails {windows app}.

Now I want to attach the content of the Grid View Control (HTML) to
the email.

Is this possible to achieve this with Web Service/Page Method?In article <1187899772.288218.245240@.z24g2000prh.googlegroups. com>,

In a windows app, if you add all of the proper references to the
System.Web DLL's, you can create an instance of the GridView,
programatically set properties/call methods and then call
"RenderControl" to generate the HTML for the control.

i just want to ping to the web service...how can i do that...do a http get of the service, it should return the wsdl (which is
discovered by reflection). you could also add a ping method that did
more testing.

Probably a HEAD request is the one that will return the least amount of
indication and still show that the service ASMX page is available.

I did an example of that some time ago for the JavaScript newsgroup:

Sorry, try rather that one:
http://www.galasoft.ch/myjavascript/IsUrlActive/
XmlHttpRequest can only ping the domain of origin for security reason.
galasoft-lb.ch and galasoft.ch are both pointing to the same server, BUT
the client doesn't know this, and throws an error when galasoft-lb.ch
tries to ping galasoft.ch...

Laurent

Web Services - Remoting and Asynchronous in Webmatrix?

Hi, I need to build an E-Commerce shopping cart which will be Asynchronous ... so I guess I will need Remoting and Asynchronous methods from web services ... my question is ... is that a MUST that I have to use Visual Studio.NET? Can I just use webmatrix?You can use Notepad if you like, as long as you do it right. If you need to create Assemblies, all the command line tools you need are free, and comes with the .Net SDK.

But then again, VS.Net will save you hours (days) of unnecessary work. You may find it expensive, but it's worth every penny.
Hi, I do have a copy of VS.NET CDs from my friend ... but, I can't even get through step 1 ... it said I dun have several software or something ... it's Enterprise version ... but I only need to use my IP address as a server ... so I selected Remote server and follow the lnk to how to setup a remote server ... but doesn't work ... still not allowed me to go on to steps 2, 3, etc. What should I do???
VS.Net consists of several CDs. The first you are required to run is Component Update. If you don't have this or any of the other CDs of, you cannot install VS.Net.

"Hi, I do have a copy of VS.NET CDs from my friend"

Do you own a license for this copy of VS.Net?
hello .. I have the original CD with me ... but its' my friend's ... does it make it diff that I can't get through step 1?
Having the original, as opposed to a copy I shouldn't imagine will make a difference, but you'll still need to license it. If you've already got a license, then I beleive you can get new media from MS, for a small fee (That way you're garaunteed to get a complete set of disks).

Alternatively, you could trySharpDevelop. It's a bit simpler than VS, but still very similar in look and feel, still does everything you're likely to need to do, and more importantly, it's free.
