Hi Experts,

I have a web application in which I dont want to do any database updations. I want the database updations through a web service. I have created a class for the data access in which I have provided methods whcih calls the web service methods.

Can I have such a similar class in my web service so that I can pass the object of the class to the webservice from my web application. I want the details of the methods in the webservice class whereas my class in the web application will contain only call to the webservice using the instance of the class as a parameter (i mean using "this").

Is there some way to achieve this wherein I can expose a class in the web service to my web application?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Ganesh

When you expose a web method that expects or returns a class, the web service will provide a description of that class thru the WSDL. When you make a web reference to the service, you'll get stub classes for not only the web service itself, but also for all the classes required by the web service. You can then use these classes with the web method.

Thanks planoie.

So can I use such a class type object in my web application that consumes the web service

Most definately. That is best part. Once you have a web reference to the web service you have all the objects that it requires so you use the web service as if it's just a local class with some methods. You can create an instance of the class that the web method expects to see and pass it to the method. You get back whatever type (simple or complex/class) that the web method returns. From the viewpoint of the consuming code you don't even see what's going on in the background (i.e. the call to the web service over HTTP and all that).

Thanx Peter
