Basic question about creating/setting up webservices

[news.microsoft.com]

I have been looking around at the documentation and have come across a lot
about how to create webservices and consume them.

I have a fairly large 3 tier application with a ton of classes in c# that
are currently being used by the website. Is there a quick/ rad tool that can
take a c# class and generate a webservice proxy/asmx file? Any suggestions
that does not involve writing the guts of the code from scratch :) would be
really helpful.

Thanks in advance

Re: Basic question about creating/setting up webservices

Are you referring to a proxy stub class or an asmx documentation file ?
These are 2 different things altogether ;-)

If I were you, my asmx does NOT even contain guts or any business logic.
They will just act as gateways to your C# classes containing business
application logic.

Thank you.

Re: Basic question about creating/setting up webservices

Hmmm I am indeed ignorant about the guts of webservices :) Let me explain
what I really need:
We have a three tier web application that uses the UIP, Data and Error
blocks. As
all the business logic is contained in the C# classes in the business layer,
I was hoping to expose
some /all of that logic via webservices so that I could make use of it via
other thin/thick clients.

Having said that, at this point this is really an experiment/ proof of
concept that I am doing. The
business layer has built in security so that in order to use the methods in
the classes, the client
would need to be authenticated and possess a valid token.

I was hoping to create objects in the webservices layer that act as
proxies/stubs for the classes.

I hope this answers you question?

Thanks for the reply.
