newbie - Calling Web Service from a Client

[Sam]

I have a Web service, which I'm not able to invoke through a web client.



Invoking Client Web page (.aspx)
<%@ Import Namespace="rmsService"%>

<Script>

Dim xObj as rmsService.EmpDataService = New rmsService.EmpDataService() -

It errors out here...

</Script>


Error Text : Type rmsService.EmpDataService is not defined...



I have the proxy class EmpDataService.vb in the directory, created by the
wsdl utility.

Any pointers greatly appreciated....


cheers,
Sam

Sam,

for this approach you need to compile the proxy class into a library
(DLL) assembly and put this assembly into a subfolder called 'bin'. Then
the ASPX should find the appropriate types.

Also you do not need to import the namespace when you are referencing
you types through the namespace.

Cheers,

User the .URL property after you instantiate your proxy class of the
web serivce.
The URL property should show the IP address or the namedspace of the
server which hosts the web service.

Example,

Dim xObj as rmsService.EmpDataService = New rmsService.EmpDataService()

xobj.URL = "Http://microsoft.com/webservices/Service1.asmx"
or
xobj.URL = "Http://000.000.000.000(IP)/webservices/Service1.asmx"

Try again.
