Web Services carry the promise of client/server development to the
Internet and makes it truly cross platform. Web Services allow you to
take your existing applications and make them available over the
Internet while, at the same time, opening a new world of services for
you to access. This session shows how to create Web Services in Visual
Basic 6 and ASP.NET. You'll also see how to access Web Services, both
from .NET and Visual Basic 6. All aspects of Web Services in the
Microsoft environment are examined including maintaining session state
and accessing clients asynchronously.
