Adding this attribute to a method within an XML Web service created using ASP.NET makes the method callable from remote Web clients. This class cannot be inherited.

Examples

In the example below the method GetMachineName can be remotely called across the Web, because it has a WebMethodAttribute. GetUserName cannot be called remotely, because it does not have a WebMethodAttribute, even though it is public.

<%@ WebService Language="C#" Class="Util"%>
    using System;
    using System.Web.Services;
    public class Util: WebService {
       public string GetUserName() {
          return User.Identity.Name;
       }
    
       [ WebMethod(Description="Obtains the Server Machine Name",
       EnableSession=true)]
       public string GetMachineName() {
          return Server.MachineName;
       }
    }

<%@ WebService Language="VB" Class="Util"%>

Imports System
Imports System.Web.Services

Public Class Util
    Inherits WebService
    
    Public Function GetUserName() As String
        Return User.Identity.Name
    End Function    
    
    <WebMethod(Description := "Obtains the Server Machine Name", _
        EnableSession := True)> _
    Public Function GetMachineName() As String
        
        Return Server.MachineName
    End Function
End Class
