Hello,

I developed a WCF Webservice via VB.NET 3.5.
I now want a third party vendor to write a Service with the exact same interface (he should not consume my webservice but write one of is own).
This vendor does not use .NET.

How can I provide the necessary Interface, or how can he retrieve it from my service by himself?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best Regards

Jens

hi immes.....

to my knowledge, making use WCF service can be consumed by any programming language ...
example:
its the same thing when you have a service that is already running using java programming language, later in dotnet or whatever it is, certainly in the first download interfaces - in the form of its service interface wsdl ...

please correct me if I am wrong ..
maybe codeproject friends can provide other input ...!

Hello Chester,

thanks for your answer. So, if I get you right, you are saying that both consuming and creating a Webservice with a specific interface require the same Basic steps.
So I could give the vendor a running version of my Service he could download the wsdl from it and create his own service based ok this interface.

Is this correct?
