| .NET My Services and Visual Studio .NET |
| MSDN |
| Visual Studio .NET allows you to create .NET My Services clients quickly and easily by handling the actual interaction with the Web Service on your behalf, allowing you to maintain a high-level view of your application and not have to dig down into the actual XML data that's being passed around. In order to appreciate the value that Visual Studio .NET brings to the development process, it helps to take a closer look at the protocols used by .NET My Services and other Web Services, and the costs of handling these protocols manually. |

| ASP.NET Web Service |
| The Code Project |
| We can now use ASP.NET to create Web Service that is based on industrial standards included XML, SOAP and WSDL. This is a basic introduction to building Web services. |

| Consuming an XML Web Service |
| DotNetJunkies |
| An XML Web Service consumer is an application that invokes the methods of an XML Web Service made available by a provider; the consumer feeds on the data derived from the XML Web Service provider. A consumer application may be another Web application, XML Web Service, Windows desktop application, or any other type of application with access to the XML Web Service using HTTP. |

| Encrypting SOAP Messages |
| MSDN |
| One of the key concerns for developers working with Web Services is security. Because the data is sent in plain text and is routed across the Internet to reach its final destination, anyone can potentially view the message exchange. In the case of the example above, this may not be an issue. However, what if the exchange consisted of a request to a bank, and the response contained a list of account numbers and balances, or perhaps a request that returned something even more interesting, such as a credit card number? This article discusses techniques for encrypting SOAP messages. |

| Improve XML Web Services' Performance by Compressing SOAP |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In this article, Mike covers compression of SOAP messages, using in-memory data compression, that are transferred over a network during an XML Web service request/response cycle. XML/SOAP is a text stream that can be compressed up to 80%, substantially decreasing the amount of data transferred, making this a viable solution in a variety of applications. |

| Integrating an HTML returning C# Web Service with our Websites |
| C#Today |
| In this article, Andrew Krowczyk discusses a relatively simple but useful Web Service that fulfills the following scenario. Lets say for example, Yahoo decided to write a Web Service that would allow anyone with a website to integrate a Recent News box into their own site. The data would be generated by Yahoo or its Content Provider, but would add the capability for anyone to encapsulate this piece of functionality into their own site seamlessly. As Andrew shows us, this is quite easy to do using .NET Web Services. |

| XML Classes from Web Services |
| XML Magazine |
| Although Web services can be used to return simple types such as integers and strings, I'll focus on how different XML-related classes found in the .Net platform can be returned from Web services to allow consuming clients to integrate the data received into an application using technologies such as XSLT. After introducing a simple example of how the XmlDocument and XmlNode classes can be returned, I'll walk you through a news filter Web service that demonstrates why and when you may want to return these object types from a Web Service. |

| XML Web Service Caching Strategies |
| MSDN |
| Despite advancements in network and processor speeds, performance remains a key concern among application developers. So whether you are writing an XML Web service, pushing image bitmaps to a video card, or even engineering that next great processing chip, you will invariably want to consider utilizing a universal mechanism for improving performance: a cache. |
