Hi,
I am new to this forum.I am new in .net programming.I want to know that I have a small project i am working on,where I have Java Webservices and I have to call it from my C# winform application.I have just wsdl file for JavaWebservices that I have added in my .net client application as a web reference.I know what methods and class i have to call it from the web services.What I have to do in order to do it?I do not have any idea about it.Please somebody tell me exactly what are the steps to do this things working.

I don't want to argue with the gold member, but this is how i do it.... (My Service reference is called SRef, and is in the same name space as this class....
1) declare it:    public SRef. Service1Client sr;
2) create an object:   sr = new SRef. Service1Client ( );
3) Use the methods like this:
returnValue = sr.AddNumbers( num1, num2 );
(FYI: i use netbeans 6.5 and VS2008)

try to add a Web reference and not service reference to your project by pointing to your wsdl document or
.Net creates a proxy for you, and you can call your webservice through this proxy.
To add a web reference you right click the solution and add the web reference by clicking the web reference item

Hi Marc,
Thank you,but i mean i am confusing that what is the difference between adding service reference and web reference?When i add it web reference i do not know but the service object i have to create is not coming when i try to make a new object.
Please let me know that after adding service reference what i have to do?Creating an object of that service means,like i have my service reference name documentref and the methods i have to use it from it is documentservice,so when i try to create an object of that,it doenst appear in intellisense.Please tell me what to do.
Thanks

I would do this slightly differntly to you, and use a service reference instead of a web reference.
- Start your java web service
-in c-sharp right click on references and click on new service reference and enter your java service wsdl address
-In your c# code create an object of the service reference, then you can use it like a normal class.
I hope this helps....
