I have the web service (developed in .net 4.0) and published in local IIS 7.0
When I go to the browser, I can see the asmx invoke operation. When passing the values and click "invoke" I get only the XML for request, but with values passed in 0, like this:
<H_Receptores xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://mywebsite.com/app">
<UserID>0</UserID>
<ReceptorID>0</ReceptorID>
</H_Receptores>
This should be values of 1 and 2 (what I entered in the web service form).
What should I do, or what I'm doing worng?
By the way, in Visual Studio 2010, if I right click and select view on browser, it opens a local development temporary IIS on port :41089 and there the operation works superb.
First, why did you create an ASMX service if you were using .NET 4.0. ASMX is a legacy technology, supported only for backwards compatability. All new SOAP web service development should use WCF.
Second, don't worry about how it works in the browser! You're not going to invoke the application from the "help page", are you? In order to test your service, create some form of client to consume the service. An example would be to create a small console application, use "Add Service Reference" to reference the service, then have the consle application call the service.
I find it more convenient to use Unit Test projects for this purpose, BTW, since I can create a set of tests and execute them all at once.

I am working on asp.net core i want to consume soap web service in my project in previous i can consume soap web service using asp.net mvc, but how to consume it in ASP.NET core,if you have an idea or an example.
Regards,
Assuming you are using Visual Studio, you can right-click your project in "Solution Explorer" and choose Add -> Connected Service.
In the new window that appears you choose Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider.
This will open a popup where you can type an URL to the WSDL definitition of the SOAP web service. Click "Go" to fetch the WSDL from the URL, or click "Browse" to use a local WSDL file.
You should now see the SOAP service in the "Services" area. Give your service a proper namespace and click "Finish" (there are other options, but you can leave them on their default settings).
Visual Studio will now generate some files and classes. One of these classes is named ...Client. Make a new instance of this class and you should find that it contains all the methods the SOAP service provides. Call these methods (with the appropriate parameters) and you will invoke the service.

We have an ASP.NET 2.0 site. A 3rd party has created a web service that we are supposed to connect to, and I was naively expecting a 2.0 style web service to be created. When I was given the url, I was expecting to see a .asmx suffix...but instead was given a url with .svc suffix.
Going to that page tells me to to create a WCF client by running svcutil...but, again, we aren't running .NET 3.0+ yet.
Since it's a web service, I'm thinking the basic functionality should be essentially the same, but freely admit I know essentially nothing about WCF (yet.)
Can I expect this to work eventually, or is there some kind of potentially blocking issue (WCF web services being inherently different in some profound way)? Is there a simple path for creating a basic client (like svcutil would if we were in the 3.0+ world)?
If it's using BasicHttpBinding (SOAP 1.1) it's probably interoperable.
In the "Add Service Reference" dialog in VS2010, click on "Advanced", then click on the "Add Web Reference" button.
I'm new to WCF web services never done anything with them before and I'm being asked to create a page to connect to a WCF web service
I have no idea where to start and I've searched the internet with no success.
Does anybody have an example of an asp.net page connecting to a WCF web service?
I've set up the WCF web service on my server but do not have a clue on how to actually connect or query it to get my XML data back.
The WCF web service is set up as it's own URL and only has 2 files within the root one being the web.config.
I somehow need to query this URL and get some XML data back from it.
Any ideas?
You need to create a service reference from your asp.net project to your WCF project. Right-click on the ASP.NET and click on "add service reference", set the URL of the service and VS will generate a proxy class for you.
Asking your favorite search engine for "asp.net add service reference" should give you a good selection of starting points.
Look into WCF connections and web.config. This link should provide you some direction: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332338.aspx#msdnwcfhc_topic5
Im trying to make a webservice in ASP.NET and get the data in a Smart Device Application.
I have the standard HelloWorld webservice and i wanna get the data in my application, but when i try to add a web reference to my project, Visual Studio can't find any webservices running. If i start the WebService in the WebService project and copy/paste the url to the "Add WebReference" in the Application project, Visual Studio finds the Webservice and i can use the InttilSence to find the HelloWorld Method (WebServiceClass.HelloWorld()) in the WebService. But when i then run the Application project the complier gives an error saying that it can't connect to the WebService.
How do i do this? How do i access a webservice in an Application project? Every tutorial or book i have read about the subject doesn't tell anything about how the webservice should i run. In my world the webservice project should be running before i can access it from another project or am i wrong?
Consider reading Rick Strahl's Creating Web Services with .NET and Visual Studio.
From there, you'll get the basics. You can build and deploy your XML SOAP web service.
Then you'll need to have your application use that web service as a 'Web Reference'. Start by "Add Web Reference".
(source: usaepay.com)
First, you should publish the web service to some server (even your own local IIS) rather than using the Visual Studio web server.
Then in your application, point to the correct URL wherever you published it when adding the reference.
While this is a bit low-tech, couldn't you create a web requrest from the Smart Device Application to hit the webservice directly? That would be my suggestion.
An example would be using the "WebRequest" Class.
It sounds like when you try to access the Web Service from your app, the service is not running (possibly because you're only running it in the Cassini server?).
The fact that you were able to generate the Web Reference means that at some point, the service was running and was able to generate the helper classes by examining the service.
I would do as David Stratton suggests and publish it somewhere where it can run while you are developing the Smart Device app (like your local IIS).
You might also take the opportunity to wrap the service call with some error handling - maybe catch the specific exception being thrown (System.Net.WebException?)
I'm new to the WCF, and I'm looking for some advice. In my web app I consumed a web service (R+Click on project - "Add Web Reference") and started coding. My web app is really big, so it was taking forever to compile each time I wanted to debug, so I built a stripped down WinForm using the same code.
In VS2008 there is no "Add Web Reference" option when using the 3.5 framework, so I just chose "Add Service Reference" and used the same url. The objects/methods that I now have access to are completely different when compared to the objects/methods in the web app after consuming this as a web service.
Is that normal? Is this somehow related to the WCF?
Thanks
You can still add web references.
Do
Add Service Refernce
Hit the "Advanaced" button on the bottom left
Hit "Add Web Reference" on the bottom left.
Yes this is related to WCF. When your project target is >= .NET 3.0 the Add Service Referemce option will be available which will use svcutil.exe to generate client classes, otherwise you will have the Add Web Reference option which uses wsdl.exe. WCF clients use different classes to call a web service and that's why you get different classes generated.
