Creating the MCMS Web Service Project
The MCMS Authoring Web service will access MCMS via the Publishing API. A series of Web methods will allow developers to retrieve template details, and update postings. The MCMS Authoring Web service project will be created from the MCMS Web Service project template in Visual Studio .NET 2003. The MCMS Web Service project template automatically includes the correct references and web.config entries to talk to MCMS.
Let’s go ahead and create this ASP.NET Web service application:
1. Launch Visual Studio .NET and from the File menu, select New | Project.
2. From the Project Types panel, select Visual C# Projects under Content Management Server Projects.
3. From the Templates panel, select MCMS Web Service.
4. Enter the location as http://localhost/McmsAuthoringWebService and click OK.
A project should now be created and you will notice all the required MCMS references are already created. You can delete the Console folder from the project as we do not need it...
