How do you consume a web service within a VB.NET windows application? If I have a web service with an operation called "mood" which takes no params and returns the following in a browser.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
  <anyType xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" d1p1:type="q1:string"
xmlns:d1p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://localhost/zippy">Happy</anyType> 

What needs to be done? Is this faux example a pure fantasy?

private function GetMyOp() as string
    dim foo as webservice = "http://localhost/zippy"
    if GotINetConnection() then  
        GetMyOp = foo.mood
    endif
end function

My thanks,
