We are finishing up our first project using .Net and Web Services this week. I am not sure how you are really supposed to use web services, so we kind of just winged it. As it evolved we discovered that the Web Service methods acted as the boundary between our UI-App solution and our backend. This allowed us to interface to our matching engine and database through services. Microsoft creates a nice services page that helps debugging. We created test methods to our services for backend testing and dummy responses for our WS Clients.
The first hurdle for me was to understand that classes created on the web service side did not act like classes on the client side. You can access the fields directly but none of the methods are visible from the client side. I guess that makes sense. You don't want clients to need code, only definitions of classes. But this menas I might just as well be passing xml around. Am I doing something wrong?

Krispy Kreme opened Tuesday in MN. At last we can have trailer trash pastry! I wonder if this will work like Coors did. 20 years ago, if you went to a Coors state people would bring back Coors. Now, who cares.
In our office we have Dunkin Donuts advocates (from Boston) so we will begin the debate over DD vs KK. Stay tuned for the results!

ptgps GPS + Web Service + iPaq (OQO)
This is cool. I first thought about this about 10 years ago on vacation. We were driving in Colorado and were wondering what various geological formations were. I thought it would be cool if GPS could be linked to information retrieval. At the time, wireless computers were not an option so I thought a CD could be accessed. But getting the info downloaded is way cooler! Unfortunately wireless services are rare outside the beaten path.
