write a web service that have a method that calls an asp.net page with parameters and send a response with parametre in xml format ..
Break down the problem into tasks as out lined below.
1. A WebService with a method that takes parameters and returns the response. Note that WCF can be utilised to implement this. But WCF is more configuration based rather than convention based. Use ASP.NET Web API, which is light weight framework
to implement RESTFul web service.
You need to implement a GET method,which takes parameters from client and return the xml data.
ASP.NET Web API service can return XML or Json data to the client. Client needs to specify content-type in Http header request.
//Below is from a unit test that Tests whether the service response is Json
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["serviceUri"]);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("news/getnewscount").Result;
Assert.AreEqual("application/json", response.Content.Headers.ContentType.MediaType);
2. Client calls the service method and passes the data
