I was looking for an asp.net webservice that uses .net 4.0 but everytime I choose 4.0 the webservice choice goes away.
Someone suggested to me that maybe they(MS) want you to use WCF instead. I don’t know much about it but he said they are like webservices but better. So anyone got a comparisons guide?
First off…FORGET what Microsoft WANTS you to use, you should use the technology that best solves your problem.
One advantage of WCF over ASMX is an improved and more robust security model. However if you can secure the service or it is public then that isn’t a consideration. WCF can also be hosted within an application that runs on a remote server as opposed to ASMX which must be hosted through IIS.
