I have a sharepoint web service running at specified host + "/_vti_bin/UserProfileWebService.asmx". I would like to instantiate a web service client, so that i could interact with this service. This is basically what I am trying to do: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms550407.aspx.
How is this done in .NET? And do I have to use the MOSS API to know what functions it supports?
EDIT:
I guess I should add that I want to connect programmatically, not through a web reference, because that seems to be static.
In VS (2008/2010) you can add a web service reference to your console project for example. It will auto-generate the proxy classes for you to use in your code.

I am new to SOAP complex type web services. I attached down here the wsdl file.
My question is
how to consume the web service? I mean how to call and how to call the callback function.
if possible, use the below wsdl and give me an example with c#
wsdl here
[wsdl here][1]

The easiest way I know to consume a SOAP API is to create a C# project and add a service reference.
Then add the address of your website and Visual Studio will generate a proxy for your WebService.
You will be able to call it in your project (Website/ConsoleApp).
You can have a sample of how to call the client when you call the svc of your WebSite if you use WCF.
ex: http://<host>[/route]/<name of svc>.svc
How can I call / use web API that supports SOAP and REST? I want to write a program in C# that will use this web API. I didn't get much information on the internet. So far, I have created C# project and added the web service reference (WSDL) to my program. Now how can I use the web API. How to send request or receive response? Can you please refer me some good tutorials ?
The HttpClient class is a good starting point. Also there is the EasyHttp library.

Adding web service reference creates client classes that can be used to communicate with web service. All created classes will be in new namespace, You have to look for client proxy class (full name depends on WebService name). Create instance of this class. Calling its methods will call WebService. Here you can read about using Web Services in C#
I am new to using web services. I am assigned a task in which I need to use a web service in my Windows app. This is the web service I would be using:
https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl
Now, I've learned how to add a web reference to this service, but I could not find a basic tutorial that could help me learn how to make an object of this web service and use the service as I want to.
Basicaly, what I need is to create an object from the above web service in my form, and to call it's methods. A C# code snippet would be great.
Can anyone give me some directions? I am working in Visual Studio 2008 and a C# Windows App.
Right click on References
select Add Service Reference
give the wsdl address in the address textbox
click Discover
Give a name for the namespace eg;- BFG
You can access the resources like BFG.MethodName() from you code
I have used the AJAX Enabled WCF Service template from within a web application. By adding a Service reference to the scriptmanager, some client objects are generated allowing me to easily consume the service. My question is can I do anything like that when I use a WCF Service Library? I added the project to my solution and in my web app I added a service reference to the service. This is where I get a bit stuck. What do I do now to allow consuming the service from the client.
So, just to consume wcf service, you have to use "svcutil" app from VS pack to generate o proxy class, which is very simple in usage.
Ok - pretty basic scenario, been there before, seemed all so simple - but can't recall enough to work out what's different about the setup at this particular existing codebase.
Winforms App calls Dll which calls Web Service. Reference in the Dll to the Web Service is dynamic. How do I get the URI for the Web Service into a Winforms app.config so I can easily change it for test, dev, live etc.
[Oh just to make it interesting, though I can't see it mattering, the proxy for the web service needs to NOT be regenerated as we have customised it...]
Set the URL directly in your code.
YourServiceProxy service = new YourServiceProxy();
service.Url = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["YourURLKey"];
Can you configure the web service URI dynamically in code? That way you can easily modify the service to point to the desired location.
You can set the Url property of the webservice in code to point to the URI and use Proxy to set the proxy to your custom proxy.
What's wrong with just copying the URL from the app.config of the library into the app.config of the Windows Forms application?
Also, I'll suggest strongly that you do not modify generated code, ever. You can make many customizations of the proxy by using partial classes. See Ways to Customize your ASMX Client Proxy.
