Hi,

This is the first time I'm working with consuming a web service which produces a lot of data and I have a hew questions.

I've created web services in the past, so this part I understand.

What I'm not sure about is how to consume the web service. I've read a few articles on using SOAP, is this the recommended method to use?

I've used the Google weather API, where you just send a request to http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=(location_here) and you get an XML response. With this method I just read from the XML and populated the fields I needed. Is this a feasible option as I will have at least 1000 records returned with 45 fields each with the web service I have created.

I realise these questions are a bit all over the place but any advice or directions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
