Visual Studio .NET provides an integrated development environment with a rich set of features that greatly simplify your development efforts as an ASP.NET web applications developer. It provides a single development environment for any of the languages you choose to develop your ASP.Net applications with, such as Visual Basic.Net, C#, or JScript.Net. Several features, such as web-forms building using drag and drop for controls, Intellisense, integrated debugging tools, and templates for enterprise development, support the development life cycle. In addition,Visual Studio .NET has an enhanced support for XML integrated into the IDE. So you do not have to change your development environment in order to use other XML tools to create and edit XML files in your applications. The built-in XML editor in Visual Studio .NET eases the creation of XML and XML Schema files.

Furthermore,Visual Studio .NET significantly simplifies your job of creating, deploying, and maintaining XML Web Services. You can easily expose web services in any of the supported languages. The development is so easy that no expertise is necessary on XML and SOAP to take advantage of web services. When you compile your business objects,Visual Studio .NET automatically generates an XML file that describes the function and, when it is called, the function automatically sends and receives XML packets.

While you build a client for the web service in Visual Studio .NET, you can drag any exposed web service directly into your application. Doing so enables Visual Studio to treat the web service as a class. Calling the web service is as simple as creating a new instance of the web service class and then calling its exposed methods .

Chapter 11, "Creating and Using ASP.NET Web Services," discusses creating XML Web Services using Visual Studio .NET. In this chapter, you explore the XML editor features in Visual Studio .NET, the command-line utilities for XML available with the .NET SDK and other non-.NET Microsoft tools for XML.
