How to use SOAP in VC++2005 .NET app?

[Frederiek]

Hi,

I need to create a Windows service that has to access a web service
through a SOAP interface.

I am using Visual C++ 2005. Thus far I have not really created .NET
applications. Up to now I used VC++ 2005 for creating non-CLR
applications. However, it seems that the SOAP Toolkit has been
deprecated, and the alternative is to use the .NET Framework. Knowing
only very little about SOAP (and .NET) at this moment, I have a hard
time trying to identify what exactly I need and where I can find it.

Can anybody tell me what kind of .NET library-or-whatever I have to use
in combination with a VC++2005 CLR Windows service application, in
order to provide access to a web service via a SOAP interface?

Thanks,

Frederiek

1. Use "Add Web Reference ..." from the "Project" menu to open wizard that
generates web service proxy.
2. Create instance of generate proxy and call its methods to communicate to
web service.
