contain application logic
• Use SOAP to interact with the XML Web Service
• Created from the ServiceName.asmx.wsdl file
• Add members to manage interactions with the
XML Web service and support asynchronous calls

Sub Button1_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs)...


Dim ProxyGetStocks As New _
GetStocks.localhost.Service1()
lblResults.Text = _
ProxyGetStocks.GetRating("Contoso")
End Sub

C# Code Example
XML Web Service Error Handling

• Service unavailable

GetStocks.StockWebRef.Service1 ProxyGetStocks = new


GetStocks.StockWebRef.Service1();
ProxyGetStocks.Timeout = 10000;
try
{
lblMessage.Text =
ProxyGetStocks.GetRating(TextBox1.Text);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
lblMessage.Text = err.Message;
}

• SOAP exceptions from XML Web Services

Visual Basic .NET Code Example
