I was wondering if this api can be built using vs.net with vb.net,
application and running it from a client.
I do not want to use asp.net, nor a web service, nor a web server.
Is this possible? And if so, how would I procede in creating the
assembly etc. that connects the XML, SOAP, WSDL, etc.
Thanks for the help,
Just add web references to the web services you want.
In VS.NET right click on the project and choose "add web reference".
Then enter the url of the WSDL and VS does it for you.
You can just refer to it as a normal assembly then - you don't have to
care that it's web-based (in theory).
