I apologize, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on to WinDev. Even though, for some, this would be considered off-topic for WinDev I wanted to get this to WinDev and I’m sure it would be helpful to someone.

How do you overload a web method?

You know you can leverage the OO concept with the web methods as well but once you try it out you’ll realize that it is not a straight forward ride. You have to tweak some of the header settings to let that happen. Here are the ones you have to tweak,

• WebServiceBinding
• MessageName

You have to make the WebServiceBinding conforms to WsiProfiles.None. And then you have to specify a Message Name so that you can distinguish between the overloaded methods in a descriptive way.

Here is an example,

[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.None)]
[WebMethod(MessageName = “Method1″, Description = “Description for Method1″)]

public string Method1(string input)

{    // implementation here    }

[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.None)]
[WebMethod(MessageName = “Method2″, Description = “Description for Method2″)]

public string Method2(string input)

{    // implementation here    }
