adding a web service to an ASP.NET project

[maac74]

hello all,
I'm new to the ASP.NET world and was looking to figure out how to connect a web service to an asp.net VB.NET project. I found a web service from here

http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/TemperatureService.wsdl

that gives the weather from any US zipcode that is submitted. If anyone knows of any good tutorials to get me started on this it would be much appreciated.

To be honest, it's fairly simple (although feel free to google for any tutorials).

Taking the web service in question, all you have to do is open your project, right-click it in the solution explorer and click Add Web Reference. Give the web service a name (in my example below I called it WebWeather). Then all you need to do is import the service e.g

Imports WebWeather

Then, just create a new instance of it and call the relevant function e.g.

        Dim wb As New WebWeather.TemperatureService
        Dim s As Single = wb.getTemp(12345)

Not in my example, but you could do if you wanted.
