| Using Web Services from Your C# Application — "One of the really great features of Web Services is that you can create them with .NET and C# if you have the full version of Visual Studio .NET.
Web services provide solutions to tasks either that don’t make sense for you to create or even maintain the code for, or for which you would have to have access to outside data available from another company or facility. A couple of examples of utilizing Web services are getting stock quotes from a stock service or weather information for anywhere in the world. These examples are used in this chapter to discuss what Web services are and how you can utilize them in your applications."
