Tutorial definitely not for people new to c# but it's worth watching as an introduction to API's

[@lastone1222]

Ye but it is not hard to understand at all. I am learning c# maximally 2 months with 0 knowledge from other languages and when i learned basics of OOP it is not hard to understand. After 2 months i think i am still new but i dont know how is it in programming languages.

[@caroav2671]

Very good tutorial unfortunately not working for me

[@Ravi-ws3qb]

Can we also call web services by this way

[@TechieOcean]

Hi Ravi,
For .NET webservices, we have different approaches. we can use the proxy class of the webservice in our client project to call the web service methods using that proxy class. Second we add the web reference to the url of the web service and then call the web methods by making the instance of the web service classes.
