I would like to know how WWSAPI compares with gSOAP. We are currently using gSOAP to talk to our WCF services. Are there any benefits to switching our current gSOAP layer to use Windows Web Services API?

Hello,

You should be able to use WWSAPI instead of gSOAP for talking to WCF services. If you see any problems, please let me know. You can use either feedback form on my blog,http://blogs.msdn.com/nikolad, or post on WWS API forum, http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wwsapi/threads/.

Thanks,
Nikola
