Developing the VB.NET client application

Once you have added the Web reference and generated the client interface for the Web service, you can develop the client application. The typical tasks for developing a VB.NET client include:

Creating the Web service

Running a non-persistent (external) procedure

Creating server-side context for a ProcObject (running a persistent procedure)

Running an internal procedure or user-defined function

Creating a SubAppObject

Releasing an object

Running a procedure with a TABLE parameter

Processing the data from a TABLE parameter

Running a procedure with a TABLE-HANDLE parameter

Preparing schema and data for input TABLE-HANDLE parameter

Processing schema and data for output TABLE-HANDLE parameter

Extra processing for RPC/Encoded TABLE-HANDLE parameters

Handling errors on the client

Note: For more information on the concepts and procedures that underlie these tasks, see , "Creating OpenEdge REST Web Services."

OpenEdge comes installed with complete sample client applications that access OpenEdge Web services. For more information, see Sample SOAP Web service applications.
