XML web services

[Krish]

I am developing a desktop client with the feature of data
synchronization between sever and client. My problem is,
the hosting company not supporting .net frame work but
they have installed SOAP toolkit 3. Can i use my XML web
services which already developed with the SOAP tool kit
withou any modifiaction.

Can i use my (.NET based) XML web services which already have been

developed, with the MS SOAP toolkit v3 without any modification?

"It depends"

It depends on what you mean. If you want to run ASMX pages on a server
machine that lacks .NET but does have the MS Soap toolkit installed, then
the answer is emphatically NO. This will not work.

If what you mean is, can a .NET client connect to an MSSOAP server, or vice
versa, the answer is MAYBE. Not all data types supported by .NET xml web
services will be supported by the MS SOAP toolkit.

I would advise moving off the MS SOAP Toolkit v3 as it has reached its
end-of-life. Find a different hosting company, or get your current hoster
to support the current Microsoft Server platform, Windows Server 2003, which
includes .NET natively.
