Calling a method from a Web Service

[Steven Blair]

Hi,

I have created a simple webservice which will take a string paramter and
return a string. I can run this from the IDE and select the method I
want, then hit Invoke.

I need to call this method automatically. I am using a book which
indicates using this command in my browser:

http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx/HelloWorld?

would allow me to call the meethod automatically. This howerever,
returns the following error:

http://sedna/WebService1/Service1.asmx/HelloWorld?

Obviously, the next step is to pass a parameter in.

Can anyone help me out?

Regards,

Steven

Hi,

Given you haven't restricted the set of allowed protocols to SOAP in the
Web.config, you should be pretty able to invoke the method given the URL
below.
But the arguments should be submitted through a HTTP POST request. You can
navigate to http://sedna/WebService1/Service1.asmx?op=HelloWorld to review
the request details for various protocols.

hi steven,

if you want to invoke the web service through a url you have to pass the
parameter to the web method if it has one .You said that your webmethod has a
string parameter

some thing like this
http://localhost/WebService1/Service...d?dg=microsoft
repace the dg in the above query string with your string parameter name
