Hi,
I'm new to posting on this group so I'm sorry if this post should be
directed to another, more appropriate, group. In any case, I've been
working on adapting a COM dll developed by someone else to access a web
service.
It works like this...a program (that I can't modify) calls a COM dll
(written in Visual C++ 6) that needs to somehow access a web service.
Does anyone know of any easy way to do this. I've tried a number of
solutions so far. I found a Microsoft add-on to Visual C++ where you
can provide a web service's dll and it generates a "web service proxy"
which comes in the form of a couple .h files with lots of code. I
tried to compile this and it spit out so many errors I had to scrap the
idea. Next I found a tutorial on how to access a web service from VC6
and I got this to work somewhat, but my C++ skills are pretty weak.
What I'm trying now is to write a DLL in C# using Studio 2005 that I
can call from the old COM dll. I've run into problems with this too.
Basically, I'm looking for an easy solution to this problem that I
haven't thought of yet. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Try using the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit. It should do the trick for you.
