It's quite amazing what goes on behind the scenes. You can, BTW, create a wsdl page for a perfectly normal RESTFUL GET or POST page. The .NET Studio machinery can take that wsdl and use it to create client web pages in the exact same way as follow for SOAP services. To the programmer, nothing much has changed, but behind the scenes the Microsoft .NET machinery uses a GET or a POST. So far as I know so far, the POST has to return an xml document (could be a single element, of course) that is defined in a schema in the wsdl document. Within Studio, you instantiate an object representing the service, and call methods on it as if it were an ordinary object. It seems innocent enough, but you are totally divorced from what really goes on behind the scenes - including several layers of hidden code the system generates. Cheers, Tom P
