Building User InterfacesWeb Services

Technical definition – “A programmable application component accessible via standard Web protocols”

built on SOAP/XMLExpose functionality from Web sites

almost like component programming over the Webfunctionality exposed using XML/HTML

Standard Web services include:storage service for .NETcalendarMSN Passport

Data and ADO.NETThe Evolution of ADO to ADO.NET

New objects (e.g., DataSets)Great support for XMLSeparates connected / disconnected issuesLanguage-neutral data accessUses same types as common language runtime
