Using reflection to call an ASP.NET web service

Question

Say I have an ASMX web service, MyService. The service has a method, MyMethod. I could execute MyMethod on the server side as follows:

MyService service = new          


        

Answer 1

@Radu: I'm able to create an instance and call the method exactly like that. For example, if I have this ASMX:

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[ScriptService]
public class MyService : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
  [WebMethod]
  public string HelloWorld()
  {
    return "Hello World";
  }
}

I'm able to call it from an ASPX page's codebehind like this:

MyService service = new MyService();
Response.Write(service.HelloWorld());

Are you saying that shouldn't work?
