I would like to ask some questions to members here on the UT who have created at least one XML Web service using VFP 7.0 (a VFP7 COM DLL to WSDL using the Web Services Wizard). Note this is about creating XML Web services in VFP7, not consuming/calling them which is generally easy and straight forward:
- Was it easy to create your first XML Web service in VFP 7.0? If not, what were the issues, VFP7, the wizard, IIS, the SOAP Toolkit settings, etc.?
- What would you like to see Microsoft add to VFP to make creating XML Web services easier?
- What were some examples of XML Web services you created (what were they for, data access, API to an app or component, etc.)?
- How do you see XML Web services playing a role in your future VFP development?
