This topic pertains to a legacy technology. XML Web services and XML Web service clients should now be created using Windows Communication Foundation.
Web services are components on a Web server that a client application can call by making HTTP requests across the Web. ASP.NET enables you to create custom Web services or to use built-in application services, and to call these services from any client application.
