Creating a Simple XML Web Service
Before a .NET Compact Framework XML Web service client can be created, there must exist an XML Web Service that the client can consume. In this chapter a simple Web service is created, and a .NET Compact Framework client is created to consume it. This XML Web service returns a famous quote, the name of the person who first spoke or wrote the quote, and the years during which the person lived.
The quotes will be stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database. When a request for a quote is made, the XML Web service will query for a random quote and return that quote to the client.
