Haven't had much of an opportunity to work with web services, so I'm venturing out and trying to get up to date. VS makes it so easy...not much of a learning curve at this point. Question though - returning primitives or class thas that can be serialized (DataSet) is simple enough, what if you want to return a file of some sort; like a picture, or a word document? I'm very curious about this part.
Also - anyone who has some beginner articles on how to get things into this directory that's out there floating somewhere - or do people even use that? Seems like Amazon, Google, and Yahoo weren't in it - but you go to there respective development sites and you can find it.
I see some really cool things in this; wish I would of started with them a year or two ago; but full time job takes it toll. Is it this easy to connect to web services not developed in .NET? Or for non .NET developers to connect to a .NET web service?
