web services overloaded methods
-
Can you use overloaded functions in Web Services? I have to build a web service here at work and to get used to it I wanted to build a simple calculator. (it's my first Web Service, but I have built several ASP.NET apps.) when I use eg.
public int Add(int op1, int op2){}there is no problem. If I however would add another function eg.public double Add(double op1, double op2){}My app crashes with a server 500 error. ([WebMethod] attributes are set) Is this normal? tnx! "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix -

You can implement both methods with the same name, but you will need to have different names for the WebMethod. So you could have
[WebMethod(MessageName="AddInt")] public int Add(int op1, int op2) {} [WebMethod(MessageName="AddDouble")] public double Add(double op1, double op2){}To the outside world there will be two different methods. That is the closest you can come to overloading with Web Services. (Hopefully someday it will be different.) Torin Blair - MCP
