RE: FN-FORUM: .NET Web Service without VS

date posted 1st November 2005 16:51

Er, yes, as far as "I" know the only way to interrogate a BTreive database
attached to a web site in Australia and link it into results obtained from a
SQL 2000 database here in the UK and display the whole thing on a web site
is web services. At least I hope so:) Also each site has to be able to
sell each others stuff and keep accounts on each others systems.

So, Damn, looks like I'm stuck with VS. I feel a rapid / advanced course
coming on. I hope they're not too expensive. I've spent a fortune on books
so far but they don't cover what I need, i.e. real life! Of course the
other "minor" points are all the extra keystrokes needed to undo VS's "help"
(even with everything switched off in options) and the fact that you can't
produce validatable HTML or XHTML with it. Bit of a nightmare really:(

Thanks Andy,

Craig

There's too much to get wrong trying to do anything with .NET without
using VS2003. Do you *really* need to use webservices with classic ASP ?
You have to manage the whole soap conversation yourself and it's way
easier to do with .NET.

Cheers

Hi,

I'm just about losing it with VS2003. I'm a newbie to .NET and need to
write some web services for a classic ASP site. I know some people are
writing web services without Visual Studios' "help". Could any of you
that are please tell me what you use and any "recommended" tutorials
that helped you on your way.

Best regards,

Craig
