1. How do I use a web service?

    Once we have created the web service for you, all you'll need to do is put code into your HTML file, for example: 
    <iframe src='http://rws.winprog.com/privates/yourdomain.com/yourservice.asp' 
frameborder=0 width='450' height='260' align='middle'></iframe>
    This works for both frame and iframe tags.

    Here is an example of asp code: 
    <%= ExecuteWebService("http://rws.winprog.com/privates/yourdomain.com/yourservice.asp") %>

<%

function ExecuteWebService(sURL)

  strQuery = sURL
  set objHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")
  Set xmlDOC = Server.CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
  objHttp.open "GET", strQuery, False
  On Error Resume next
  objHttp.send
  
  If Err Then
    ExecuteWebService = ""
    response.write "error: " & sURL
  else
    ExecuteWebService = objHttp.ResponseText
  End If
  
  On Error goto 0
  
  Set objHttp = Nothing
End Function

%>
  2. What is a web service?

    A web service is a remotely hosted module of code that you can access within your own web site or applications. Once you put in the code into your application or web site, it will access the module and return data. This data then can be used within your web site / application in any way you choose.

  3. What is the benefit of using a web service?

    1. Just plug in a simple block of code into your application. No extra code to write or manage

    2. Any updates are handled by our service, and will apply to any application or site you have added the access code block to.

    3. Real-time data is delivered to your application which gives you the benefit of the most current information available.

    4. No need to host extra modules or services. We do that all for you!

  4. Do I need to host the web service myself?

    You do not need to host anything. We will host the web service for you.

  5. What applications are compatible with your service?

    Any application that will allow you to grab information from a web service will work with any of our web services. Some spreadsheets, for example, may allow you to obtain data from a web service and integrate it into the spreadsheet or even a chart.

  6. Can I use these web services on my web site?

    Absolutely! They are not just for applications, but can be used to deliver real-time data to your web site visitors.

  7. What programming or script language(s) do I need to use in order to use a web service?

    You can use virtually any programming or scripting language to access our web service.
