Question

Hi,

How to use HTTPS protocol for ASMX web service. Please let me know steps to achieve this.

If you can provide sample application then that would be better.

Answer 1

Sanket,

I will encourage you to use WCF instead of ASMX http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480190.aspx.

For your above question, does this solve your issue?

Hi Neha,

Just recently we implemented using WCF.

During implementation, we were just wodering whether we can achieve this on ASMX web service. Hence, posted this question.

 

Thanks for quick reply :)

You could achieve it, but then you'd be using what Microsoft considers to be "legacy technology". Why start in the past?

WCF is Web Services. They are not two separate things.
Use WCF for All New Web Service Development, instead of legacy ASMX or obsolete WSE
Use File->New Project to create Web Service Projects
