Invoking a WebService using a Client Application

Hi,
I have a web serivce created that contains several methods that are
NON-PRIMITIVE types - meaning I cannot test it directly from the browser. So,
I thought of devloping a client application in .NET that can submit the XML
request and receive the response.

I created the application and it works; but the problem is, the user have to
frame the XML each time as TEXT (build the XML) and then submit it which
takes a long time. Is there a way that given the web service and the method,
a windows form with controls dynamically be created based on the types?.
These controls will basically form as placeholders so that the user can
simply type in the required values and submit the XML request?.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,
Ganesh

When ever I try to test my web services (or other people's), I use Web
Service Studio. Check out it at GotDotNET:

Our WebDev team seems to have found a problem that exposes a bug in .NET 2.0. This problem can be shown when trying to access a WebService using SSL and through a proxy server after using the HttpWebRequest object. Under normal circumstances I am able to use the webservice without any problems. But after using an HttpWebRequest object to make a call to a website all subsequent attempts to use the WebService will fail with a 401...

Hi John, Hopefully this post will find its way back to you - or perhaps be answered by someone else. As I mentioned in my last post on the earlier portion of this thread, changing the serialization settings for the build handled the initial slows we encountered when invoking the web service. Since that time, we ported the original VB.net code over to C# - this was done to make it cleaner easier to include the project in the rest of...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
