ASP.NET web service

[. .]

Hi

I have a quick question about asp.net web service . I am developing a
web system using Visual studio.net ASP.NET and VB .net . I have been
told to make some aspx pages . I have got the project specification
which gave me some web method outlines . My question is howcome I will
use web methods in aspx pages . If I use web service then the page
extention has to be .asmx . I am confused . Please tell me if there is
a way to use web service in aspx page .

thanks

Hi,

First of all, your question need further clarification.

Basically web services as its name express its a service, using Microsoft
..Net you can develop web service application, which contain web service
files, with asmx extention, and in those files we define a web method, which
can be called by any other application.

Like the way, your asp.net application with an aspx page can make a call to
web service asmx page and can consume it functionalities. So your asp.net
aspx application is a consumer, it can consume those public web methods which
define in web services.
