Using the Web Service Example

In the previous page we created a Web service.

The FahrenheitToCelsius() function can be tested here: FahrenheitToCelsius

The CelsiusToFahrenheit() function can be tested here: CelsiusToFahrenheit

These functions will send an XML response like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">38</string>

Put the Web Service on Your Web Site

Using a form and the HTTP POST method, you can put the web service on your site, like this:

How To Do It

Here is the code to add the Web Service to a web page:

<form action='tempconvert.asmx/FahrenheitToCelsius'
method="post" target="_blank">
<table>
<tr>
    <td>Fahrenheit to Celsius:</td>
    <td>
    <input class="frmInput" type="text" size="30" name="Fahrenheit">
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td></td>
    <td align="right">
     <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="button">
     </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

<form action='tempconvert.asmx/CelsiusToFahrenheit'
method="post" target="_blank">
<table>
<tr>
    <td>Celsius to Fahrenheit:</td>
    <td>
    <input class="frmInput" type="text" size="30" name="Celsius">
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td></td>
    <td align="right">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="button">
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Substitute the "tempconvert.asmx" with the address of your web service like:

http://www.example.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx
