hi guys! i need help. How can i check if the sharepoint web service is available? for example this link http://sharepoint/_vti_bin/lists.asmxis for the List service offered by sharepoint. How can i check if that List Service is available? Thanks in advance!
Assuming you mean will it always be there... Yes, all sites/webs will have that web service.
As for if it's working - if there's something wrong, exception(s) will be raised when you try call one of the methods.
Why do you need to check if it exists/is available?
actually, i just need to check if the url provided is correct or is really a web service. Is there anyway for me to check if the URL is really a web service and is not just a site?
For the purposes of SharePoint, and considering that all sites will have the lists web service, I'd suggest accepting a site URL and appending the web service (partial) URL yourself - guaranteed to exist.
Ok Thanks a bunch!
