One of my professors from my graduate program asked me about some information on developing web services in an environment that does not include Visual Studio .NET .
One of the great benefits of using Visual Studio .NET 2003 is that you can get automatically generated proxies to the remote web service without really lifting a finger.
Unfortunately, this is not a built-in feature of #develop. However, not to worry, it is a built-in feature of NAnt Contrib a sibling project with the NAnt project that creates additional functionality for use with the NAnt tool.
You say, but wait, I don't want to use an NAnt controlled build process! Don't fret, its not as hard as it used to be. #develop has integration with NAnt (and NUnit) that really works well. You can either use the #develop VS.NET 2003-style build manager or you can use your own custom NAnt script.
One last thing, if you have ever wanted to upload large files via a web service, you might want to check out this bit of code: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/webservices/DimeBufferedUpload.asp.
That's about it for now! Happy Coding!
