Description

The Web Services platforms represents the evolution of past distributed component technologies. They really were the result of developments and companies struggling with the various interoperability issues that were common with other technologies. Web Services aren’t the only distributed technology available but certainly the most prevalent.

In this screencast Thom takes a look at some of the more important changes within the Web Services infrastructure using Visual Studio 2005. These include the addition of the WS-I basic profile, and building typed datasets.

    Dear Thom,

    I created a sample quite similar to yours, but using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. Moreover, I tried to implement a way to client(s) send changes back to server, through EmployeesUpdate method, but it is not working. Would you mind looking at code below and pinpointing what I have done wrong?

    Regards,
