in ASP.NET asmx web services platform?

Thank you,

Hello Max,

As for the "WS-Profiling" you mentioned, do you mean the WS basic profile?
As far as I knew, there is a basic profile for defining the interopabiilty
of XML Webservice between different kind of platform.

If this is the profile you mean, you can get built-in support on creating
WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 conformed webservice through ASP.NET 2.0 webservice.

#Building WS-I Basic Profile Compliant Web Services Using ASP.NET 2.0
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms230196.aspx

ASP.NET 2.0 asmx webservice provide the "CoformsTo" property of
WebServiceBindingAttribute to let us specify the Interop profile our
webservice will obey. e.g.

================
[WebServiceBinding( ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class SimpleService : System.Web.Services.WebService
================

Thus, when try running your webservice(visiting the ASMX file), if there is
any setting or defining of your webservice that violate the basic
profile1.1, it will report error.

Also, as mentioned in the article, this setting can help verfiy the basic
profile 1.1 on your webservice at design time, if you have apply any other
customization feature(such as soap extention) to modify the SOAP message at
runtime, it can not detect this. For such scenario, you may need to use
some other tools to verfiy the interopability of the webservcie.
