This sample is designed to show how to transfer binary data (images in this case) over a web service.
The sample contains two solutions:
Each solution has one project.
Please see the individual ReadMe.htm files for each solution.
Requires the Trial or Release version of Visual Studio .NET Professional (or greater).
Because this example involves both a Windows client application and a Web Service application, its installation is a bit trickier than most samples. The client application, VB.NET How-To Web Service Graphics, includes a Web Reference to the Web Service exposed by the GraphicsServer project. Your goal is to create a new virtual directory named VB.NETHowToGraphicsServer that "points" to the WebService folder that was created when you installed this example.
In order to create the necessary IIS (Internet Information Server) project, follow these steps:
Once you've added the new virtual directory, you should be able to load the VB.NET How-To Web Service Graphics.sln file, in the Client folder, and then load and run the sample.
