A Final Word

In this column, we showed you how to consume a specific Web service (IsPrime) from ASP.NET. We went through the flow of generating the proxy for the IsPrime Web service, its class, namespace, and .dll file. We taught you how to write the ASP.NET consumer, with its two ASP.NET controls, ASP:TEXTBOX and ASP:BUTTON. We presented the JScript .NET portion of the page, how to call the Web service from within the consumer, and what the page looks like in the browser.

In this column you have learned:

• How to create a proxy
• How to create a .dll file
• How to write ASP.NET controls
• How to write JScript .NET for ASP.NET
• How to consume the IsPrime Web service

The following files were zipped for you: checkIsPrime.asmx (the IsPrime Web service) and isPrimeConsumer.aspx (a consumer of the IsPrime Web service).
