Audience

This course is intended for application developers who know how to build and consume Web services in Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 and how to use the common features of the base class library. The application developers do not have to understand concepts such advanced WS-*, Web Services Enhancements (WSE), service life cycle management, and diagnostics.
