Consuming a Service Created with Web Matrix - Creating the client page and testing

(Page 5 of 5 )

Add an ASP.NET page called mooru.aspx to a web project. Add a button which, when clicked, will access the web service. In the click event declare a mysvc as a new service with the syntax <namespace.class> (sugaku.numero). Implement code that will write the result to the screen as shown in Fig16. That is all there is to it.

When you browse the file mooru.aspx, the browser opens with the button in view. If you click on the button the display will be as seen in Fig.17 below.

Summary

Web Matrix has a neat interface for creating both a Web Service Provider as well as a consumer. It is also possible to refer to, or import, Web Matrix created web service files in VS 2003 projects to create consumers. The mini-web server is an excellent medium for trying out samples or prototypes. You can browse the files that are exposed by the mini-web server by accessing them in the browser. In the case of importing a file into a project, although the route to the client has been somewhat tortuous, the end result shows that all the interfaces have functioned consistently and correctly.
