web services

[aaryan]

hi everybody,
want an idea on how to progress with my project.
i will give you the scenario:
a client visits a particular parts' vendor website and places order. say he chooses screw driver of a brand, drilling machine of a brand, etc, etc.
the list may include 1 item or many items.
now depending on the client's requirement, the list should be f/wded to the corresponding manufacturers of the parts thro the web service who in turn will deliver it to the parts vendor and in turn it will be delivered to the client.
hope i made my point clear.
now all i want is 1)how to make my web service take differing parameters along with the brand name?
2) how in turn channel the info to the manufacturers?
any help will be of much use to me.
thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think this tutorial http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/webservicesintro.aspxmight help you with that.

Hi,

thanks for that.
i just got an idea. create a class with all possible specification for each parts and invoke the relevant class and send the objects across.
for eg. i have a class screw driver with members brandname, price, mmreqd and another class hammer with members brandname and price.
and if a client chooses screw driver of brand a and hammer of brand b the object will be created for both and these objects will be sent across to the web method.
my doubt here is, again the objects can be 1,2 or more depending on the no. of parts selected. how to pass on the VARYING number of objects to the web service.
any help or idea is appreciated.
