Web Service Structure

Question

User1953081067 posted

Hi

I'm very new to web services. After a little YouTube research, I've built and run my first basic web service.

What I'd like to understand is how best to structure it. For example: One ASMX file contains one class with multiple methods. I've worked out I need 8 or so classes (each with a number of methods), which means I need to create 8 ASMX files, and then references all 8 to my website that uses them.

Is there not a way I can use only one ASMX file and create multiple classes - like I would in a cs file with namespacese? It just seems long winded to add a reference for every file I create.

Thanks as always

i would created 1 asmx, then create the function that call the distinct functions in your classes.

Hi,

You can have single service with multiple contracts, but you need to have a class that implement all of the service contracts that you have exposed and configure the service like.

<service name="ServiceNameSpace.ServiceImplementationCLass" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
                <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ServiceContract1" />
                <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ServiceContract2" />
</service>

Best Regards.
