The ACME Corporation demo Web Service shows how a catalog of products can be exposed as a Web Service to allow the products to be integrated into other sites so that product data/information is always up-to-date. The demo code contains several Web Methods that hit a database to extract specific product information that is consumed by a fictitious company named Wahlin"s Widgets. The Web Service, client proxy, and ASP.NET page involved in the demo are included in the downloadable zip file.

This sample is from the book XML for ASP.NET Developers by Dan Wahlin (Sams Publishing)
