calling external webservice

Hi all,

I'am still working with the beta 2 version of Ms Ajax and i have question about making a call to an external webservice. Is it possible to make a call to an external webservice from javascript without a bridge file in RC. If not will it be possible in the future?

Thanks in advance!

In the current release, it's not possible to call an external web service without the bridge (seehttp://ajax.asp.net/docs/mref/P_System_Web_UI_ServiceReference_Path.aspx for more info) and for RTM this will probably continue like this, as you can see in this whitepaperhttp://ajax.asp.net/files/AspNet_AJAX_CTP_to_RC_Whitepaper.aspx#link4, in the client networking feature.

Actually you can call an external web service! Check out this article:

I hope it helps,

Hi Bogdanb,

Thanks for your reply. Your example is an AJAX example and not a MS AJAX example. In AJAX it is possible to do a call to a webservice directly. MS AJAX simplefies this call for me. I want to use MS AJAX and call an external webservice. Right now i'am using a bridge file to make it work. i wanted to know if this will change in the future.
