{"The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element."} Here is the solution. [More]

Custom Service or RESTful Service?

REST, or Representational State Transfer, is a type of Web service that is rapidly gaining in popularity. So you might ask yourself what the difference is between RESTful services and custom Web services, and why you might choose one type over the other. The key difference between the two types is that REST services are resource-centric while custom services are operation-centric. With REST, you divide your data into resources, give each resource a URL, and implement standard operations on those resources that allow creation, retrieval, update, and deletion (CRUD). With custom services, you can implement any arbitrary method, which means that the focus is on the operations rather than the resources, and those operations can be tailored to the specific needs of your application.

Implementing ASMX Web Service Part 1 - Service

You must be wondering, that in WCF era ASMX Web Service! I wrote the first one 5 years ago and now trying to move them to WCF Service, but lot of companies have not even adopted the web service and some have only started adopting it recently, and now they realized that a new era has come. I will discuss my experiments & experiences with WCF in later posts. However, I would like to post a simple Customer ASMX Web Service and then consume it by a ASP.NET Web Page via Server Side and then Client Side using direct SOAP based XML through HTTP Post. Later, I will create a similar WCF Service with exactly same methods and will access the data exactly same way. Remember this is not a simple HelloWorld Example, this Web Service deals with primitive data type as well as complex one. How far you would like to dive deep into it, will be up to you. [More]
