Web service Http GET and POST

Create Web service in .Net

1. Create web service project

2. Create web methods

[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)]
public EntityCollection GetApplications()
{
EntityCollection applications = new EntityCollection(new AppEntityFactory());
using (DataAccessAdapter adapter = new DataAccessAdapter())
{
adapter.FetchEntityCollection(applications,null);
return applications;
}


}

3. Http POST and GET enable for localhost by default. But Hosting we have to enable it. If you want to check your service with inputs you have to do following changes

Edit your web.config file with following tag

webServices>
protocols>
add name="HttpPost"/>
add name="HttpGet"/>
add name="Documentation"/>
add name="HttpPostLocalhost"/>
/protocols>
/webServices>


4. For disable http POST do following changes in web.config file

webServices>
protocols>
remove name="HttpPost" />
remove name="HttpGet" />
remove name="HttpPostLocalhost" />
/protocols>
/webServices>

note:
If this doen't work Edit your machine.config file
