Hi,

Someone else asked the same question, but received no replies.

I am about to embark on updating an existing .NET 1.1 Smart Client
application that uses WSE2 SP3 to .NET 2.0 in VS2005. At this stage I cannot
update to WSE3 as all webservice endpoints are WSE2 SP3.

Does anyone that has tried doing WSE2 SP3 in VS2005 have any tips or words
of caution?

Thanks, in anticipation.

Chris

Hi Chris,

As for WSE2 SP3, it is built upon .net framework 1.1 and VS 2003 is the
dedicated IDE for developing WSE 2.0 equiped application. VS 2005 only
support developing .net framework 2.0 appliations, therefore, WSE 3.0 is
the expected one used in  VS 2005.  

For your scenario, since your server-side service remains ASP.NET
1.1(secured through WSE 2.0) and you need to use WSE 2.0 client proxy, I
think you can consider the following means:

1. Still use VS 2003 IDE add webreference or the WSE2.0'S wsewsdl2.exe to
generate the WSE2 client proxy and put it in a separate class library
project and build it.  

2. Reference that class library assembly in your VS 2005(.NET 2.0)
application.

Thus, the wse2 proxy remain built upon .net framework 1.1 and your main
application can be developed through vs 2005/.net 2.0 and call the WSE 2.0
proxy through a class library assembly.

How do you think? If you have any further questions or concerns here,
please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Thanks Steven, this sounds like a good way forward.

I think it is unfortunate that VS2005 does not support WSE2 - for us and I
think plenty of other organisations who have 'legacy' WSE2 webservices there
is no easy migration path from 2 to 3. VS2005 appears to be trying to
'force' adoption of 3 - but may actually be causing organisations to resist
moving to VS2005/.NET 2 because of the migration issues?

Thanks for your reply Chris,

For Visual Studio 2005, it is dedicated to .net framework 2.0 based
programming. And WSE 3.0 is .net framework 2.0 based and is completely
different from WSE 2.0 not only from framework version, but also the
supported WS-* protocol version.   WSE 3.0 implement the latest WS-*
security specification, and WSE 3.0 secured interopable service can also be
compatible with WCF secured webservice.  IMO, it is quite recommended to
upgrade service from WSE 2.0 to WSE 3.0 (if .net framework 2.0 has been
applied in the application).

Here are some reference about upgrading webservice from WSE 2.0 to WSE 3.0:

Hope this also helps some.
