How to access an asmx web service in my code?

Question

User-823196590 posted

I have an asmx web service that I have setup in my web project in VS as Add Service Reference -> Advanced -> Add Web Reference, and then I added a "using mysvc;" reference to my C# code.  When I am writing the code and want to call a webmethod from the asmx, I thought I would be able to code it as "mysvc.somemethod()", but I am only getting .WebServiceSoap, .WebServiceSoapClient, and .WebServiceSoapChannel as options from intellisense.

What am I doing wrong or misunderstanding?  Is there a good tutorial or reference someone can point me to?

First of all you have to create an object of WebServiceSoapClient after then you would able to call methods.

WebServiceSoapClient obj =new WebServiceSoapClient ();
var result=obj.MethodName();

He is right with just an edit. that is do like

mysvc websvc = new mysvc();

websvc.somemethod();

The intellisense is showing the reference that a web reference exists in project i presume that.
