I must say, after spending all of 45 minutes writing a complete Rock-Paper-Scissors game client to the web service I wrote last night...

I LOVE .NET

Consuming a web service in .NET is crazy simple.

Step 1. Add a Web Reference to the web service URL.

Step 2. Instantiate an object using that reference.

    rpsservice = new RPSClient.com.mydemos.www.ScottRPS();

Step 3. Use the object, just as you would any other object in .NET.

    rpsservice.ShakeHands(iGameId);

Wow. I love it when products just work. No fuss, no muss.
