Accessing a web service from a web page

[mick lennon]

Hi Folks,
How do I reference an instance of a web service (proxy class) from an aspx page. Im actually using the Dataservice, dataserviceclient example from the SDk's ASP.Net Web Services samples. Im trying to get them running myself. Ive created the dataservice web service as a project and Ive and placed a wsdl created proxy in the web service apps /bin folder. I created the web service client by cutting and pasting the code + html from the (sdk examples) dataservice client into a text file and saving this as dataserviceclient.aspx. When I try to load dataserviceclient.aspx in the browser I get a
Compilation error Message: Type is not defined 'DataServiceVB.dataservice'. Im obviously omitting something trivial. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Did you make a referance to the webservice?

If not, here is how.
Right click on your project in solution explorer, and select add web referance.

And then make an instance of it


In Vb:
Dim WS as new webservice

The you can access the properties and methods
WS.codeisfun = True
WS.DrinkBeer("Hamms")
