.Net Web Services???

[KatB]

Hi, trying to figure out Web Services vs. asp.net application. Anyone in
the mood to enlighten me? I've read some things about it, but still
don't get it.

Thanks, Kat

XML Web Services is a way to expose .Net classes across a TCP/IP network. It
uses a combination of SOAP, HTTP and XML, and is exposed via a web site
containing the services. The services are accessed via SOAP requests. It
enables the developer to create classes that can be used via web browser or
any other HTTP client application across the Internet. For a simple example,
you could create an XML Web Service Method that returns a .Net DataSet to
the client. The client could call the method, passing the various parameters
it takes, and get back a result set of data from over the Internet.

In short, it allows you to call a method on an object that resides on a
remote server. It's nearly as easy as calling a local method.

Here's all the details:
