Web Services Everywhere (& problems too)
Well for years I've avoided the hype around web services (other than building my own XML-RPC based system). Now, however, I've had 2 project in a row that were completely based on my system consuming web services. The first was Microsoft CRM which worked nicely, if slowly, from .NET client to CRM server. The second project is starting to give me fits because it is a VB6 client to .NET Web Service. The SOAP Toolkit just doesn't do it for me, plus MS is going to retire it in July '04. So I looked at PocketSOAP which works great unless there is a Guid in the WSDL, because the schema for microsoft.com/wsdl/types doesn't seem to exist anywhere that I can see.
