Xslt & Webservices

[WStoreyII]

Two question,

1) is there a way to edit the interface of the display for when accessing a
asmx file through the browser as opposed to that default web service
interface.
For example what if i wanted to use a dropdown list for one of the
paramaters. if this is possible how html, xslt ?

2) can i assign a xslt style sheet to a xml webservices output. Lile
instead of accessing the webservice from code. THe user can access the
webservice and then see the results syled in my fashon as oppsed to the xml
that pops up when you hit the invoke button?

Thanks for any help and suggestions.

an aspx page you want to use as a template. The default template used to
create UIs for web services is located in:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFI G (The path can vary by
OS, installation location and framework version).

Creating a new template gives you full control over the UI, so it is
possible to do this.
However it sounds like you\re really trying to create a client for your web
services. If so, I suggest that you consider writing an ASP.NET application.
Changing the template is not really a shortcut if you want control over the
results and similar.
