Hi Guys,

I am having trouble with inheriting from another web service.

Could anyone please be so kind to explain to me how to do it.

What i want to achieve is to inherit in my web service from another web service and be able to see methods of that web service when i view it in a browser.

For example.

I have web service a at htpp://localhost/example1/a.asmx. Next i want to create web service b and use web service a as a base class and be able to override and use its methods.

Thanks for the help.

Kind Regards

Terence

Solution 1

In the codebehind of b.asmx, amend the class declaration to look something like this:

C#

public class b : a
{
//overrides etc. here
}

If you don't own the code for the web service you want to inherit from, then create a proxy class from the web service WSDL

* Open visual studio command prompt
* WSDL[^] /out:C:\myProxyClass.cs http://localhost/example1/a.asmx?WSDL

That will generate a proxy class with all the web service methods that are in the service a.asmx

Include the file generated at C:\myProxyClass.cs in the project where you want to override it.

Now inherit a class as stated by Jim

C#

public class MyDerivedClass : ProxyClass 
{   
}

For methods that you want to override, you'll need to go into the source code of the proxy class and mark the methods as virtual
