Greetings,
I’m confused as to the best approach to make when consuming REST based web services with .Net. At the moment I’m using the System.net.webclient class. Should I be using Webresponse, webrequest classes in System.Net ?
If I were to use another approach (Other than webclient) what disadvantages / advantages would I gain ?
Thanks,
If you use the WCF REST starter kit, there’s pretty much no technical downside. There’s a learning curve, however, and it will only work if you have .Net 3.5 SP1 (so I guess that’s the down side).
