As a rule, .NET Web services include a C# proxy. This C# proxy contains program code that resolves function calls and connections to the server -side .NET Web service. The proxy is compiled into the client application which uses the proxy to connect to and retrieve information from the server-side .NET Web service.
The .NET samples provided on your ACUCOBOL-GT distribution media contain two Web services projects: one for ASP.NET services and the other for remoting objects. They both utilize HTTP and SOAP.
The ASP.NET example generates a C# proxy that is compiled with the client-side control with which the ACUCOBOL-GT program converses. refer to the "ReadMeSetup.txt" in each sample directory for an overview and setup of the Web services samples.
The client needs this proxy so that it can connect to the service over the Internet and call methods that reside in the service.
