  • Thanks. So if I create a .NET web service in C#, I'm guessing it will use SOAP for transmitting information and XML as the data format? Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 2:22
  • That's right. SOAP is also a well-defined standard that works across plenty of different languages, so your clients don't need to be C#, since they're basically XML files wrapped in HTTP. I belive the same stands true for XML-RPC. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 2:24
  • Great! Do I need to know anything about SOAP to write a web service? I saw some tutorials for creating .NET web services in Visual Studio but SOAP was never mentioned. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 2:26
  • Nope, I've no idea to anything .NET related. If you can't find anything helpful, another question might be the answer. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 2:34
