Overloading a Web Service

I have found tons of articles that tell you how to overload a Web Service but none that tell you how to call it.

You can do something like this:

CODE

namespace TestOverloadingWebService
{
    [WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
    public class OverloadingInWebService : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        [WebMethod(MessageName = "AddInt", EnableSession = true)]
        public int Add(int a, int b)
        {
            return (a + b);
        }


        [WebMethod(MessageName = "AddFloat", EnableSession = true)]
        public float Add(float a, float b)
        {
            return (a + b);
        }
    }
}

This example is used all over the place but if you try to call the 2nd method I get an error on compile.  In a project that is in the same solution.

The service compiles fine and when you run it you will see 2 services with the MessageName listed below.

How do you get this to work and how do you call it?

Thanks,

Tom

Yes, I did see both of the web sites.

I found the issue to be that I needed to update the web reference.  Even though it was compiling, the web reference had to be updated.  Didn't know about that.

It seems to work fine now.  You do call it the same way.

It doesn't really spell that out and there were no examples of doing the call, so I wasnt't sure.

Thanks,

Tom
