Re: SPAM-LOW: [DOTNET-WEB] VB6 and .NET Web Services.

I would seriously ask yourself why you are using web services. Is there a
legit reason for this such as external vendors, units, or partners will need
access to your application? If not don't use them.  Build your tiers in
separate layers, make sure any objects returned are serializeable, and then
write necessary wrappers around only the necessary areas to expose the bare
minimum to your target audience as necessary, and make sure security
precautions are put in place.

I once interviewed with a company a few years ago where every other sentence
from their mouth was about all the web services they were using.  Every
single call to the db was exposed as a web service. These guys had no clue
that they were facing security and performance issues, but the web service
part was "cool" !

Can a traditional VB6 application talk to a ASP.NET Web Service,
My answer would be no. But we're going to start talking about migrating
allot of our code to .NET soon,
starting off by getting all our main functionality into web services.

I have a meeting today regarding this, and I know I'm going to be asked this
very question. Is there a logical way around this that I'm missing ?

This is probably an easy one for anyone already doing this type of thing. So
you've guessed right that I'm new to this (.NET web services that is)

cheers Karl.
