Creating a Web Service with Web Matrix - Testing this web service
(Page 4 of 4 )
In the default example the mini web server was used. In this example the IIS on the local machine will be used, given by the second radio button in a previous screen.
When you click on Start it takes a while, but the result from the web service is now returned at the url of the localhost on the IIS, http://localhost/Pythagoras/WsvcWm.asmx.
The hypotenuse gives access to the screen where the web service may be tested as shown.
Clicking on the Invoke button displays the XML returned in the following display. The answer 5 is the correct value for the hypotenuse.
If we now look at the Pythogoras site in IIS we see that the whole directory , C:ASPApril04 is added to the website Pythagoras as shown. Pythagoras is not a web project but a site with a number of web form files.
Summary
Two different web services were created using the ASP.NET Web Matrix program. Testing the web service with the built-in mini-web server and with the IIS installed on the machine were also demonstrated. The links at the bottom of the WSDL file provide details about the various protocols, unfortunately missing in this tutorial. In a future article, creating a client for these services will be considered.
