web service

[Smokey Grindle]

Is there any limit to the number of methods you can put into a web service?
Could you for example have 200 methods or more? We are working on a massive
system that we would like to use web services to provide functionality to
remote users... thanks!

Have you considered Remoting (whicn can be hosted within IIS) instead of
WebServices?

If your clients are .Net, the remoting would be favored.

If your clients are .Net (and others, asp, vb6, java), then WebServices
would be preferred.

among other sites.

If you're using .Net 3.0, you have more options.

Would remoting work with Compact Framework also? We were planning on having
some PocketPC apps with of course reduced functionality and then .NET apps
running on the workstations.. (nothing that isn't .NET 2.0 native) Thanks!
