How to: Use the WebService Attribute

 Windows Communication Foundation Services and ADO.NET Data Services

You can use the WebService attribute to specify the namespace, which defaults to "http://tempuri.org", and description text for the XML Web service. By default the ASP.NET Web Service project template does not generate a class that includes this attribute. Separate multiple properties with a comma.

To apply the WebService attribute

• Insert the WebService attribute before the class declaration and set the Namespace and Description properties as shown below:

  <System.Web.Services.WebService( _ 
     Namespace:="https://servername/xmlwebservices/", _ 
     Description:="Some descriptive text could go here.")> _ 
  Public Class Service1
      Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
      ' Implementation code.
  End Class
  

  [System.Web.Services.WebService( 
     Namespace="https://servername/xmlwebservices/", 
     Description="Some descriptive text could go here.")] 
  public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
  { 
      // Implementation code.
  }
