Limitation Of WebServices

Web services are not limited to the .NET Framework. The standards were defined before .NET was released, and they are exposed, used, and supported by vendors other than Microsoft. The .NET Framework is special because it hides all the plumbing code, and this makes it far easier to expose your own services over the Internet or to access the services provided by other companies. As you’ll see, you don’t need to know all the details of XML and SOAP to successfully program web services (although, of course, some knowledge helps). ASP.NET abstracts the nitty-gritty stuff and generates wrapper classes that expose a simple object-oriented model to send, receive, and interpret the SOAP messages easily.
