Microsoft’s ASP.NET was introduced almost two decades ago and has steadily grown in popularity over the years. It is used by corporations worldwide to build web apps that enable them to provide services to clients on their clients. One of the main reasons why ASP.NET is so effective is because of its web service functionality. Do you know what a web service is?. In the past, applications that ran on the web had a hard time communicating with each other because they ran on different systems and used different communications protocols to pass messages to each other. That all changed with the introduction of the SOAP or the Simple Object Access Protocol technology, which allowed applications to talk to each other regardless of the type of the machine accessing them or the language they’ve been written in. The web service is thus a protocol that functions as an intermediary of sorts for applications. A web service uses XML and HTTP to run and has three main components: UDDI (Universal Description and Integration), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and WSDL (Web Services Description Language). Here’s how a web service works with the help of an example Consider a flight ticket booking and management software system built on ASP.NET. When you book a flight ticket, your browser will bundle your request through the HTTP protocol to the app over the internet with a SOAP message. The web service will receive the SOAP message and convert it into the understandable code for the application. The application will process the request and then confirm it by generating a booking number for the customer. The web service will take this booking number and bundle it into a SOAP message and communicate it with your browser. Your browser will then translate it into words for you. The web service functionality is only one of the reasons why ASP.NET makes for a good platform for web apps. If you’re planning on building an ASP.NET based app for your business, you will need to make liberal use of the web service feature. If you’re not good at coding, it’s not hard to find Dot Net developers in Malaysia to do it for you either.
