    Web Service is programmable application logic accessible via standard Web protocols. Try searching info on SOAP, here is a start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP

    Hope this helps :D

    Adding a WebService is like adding a reference to a DLL that is located on a remote server (over the web). You can use this to access data from the website that provides that webservice. Alternatively, you can create your own WebService that provides developers access to data from your website.

    Webservices should only be used if needed .i.e. if you need an external application to connect to yours, or you need to connect to a external application.

    Webservices increase the overheads of your system, so use wisely :)

    web services is nothing more than making calls to functions using either HTTP or TCP/IP

    Web services is a function written on remote servers. We can access these function either in windows application or in Web application. Web service is working using soap protocol.

    2- the person will only have access to limited part of ur database

    Hiii..............

    Web services are basically a components that stored in web server. any client application call web services by making a http request across the internet.Web. ASP.NET enables you to create custom Web services or to use built-in application services, and to call these services from any client application.

    Webservices are also nothing explicitly to do with .Net, most programming technologies are capable of exposing webservices for others to consume.

    Despite its name, its also worth noting that it doesn't necessarily have to occur over "the web", you can also get systems that use webservices between components installed on the same machine.

    As to what they are, they expose a standardised method of calling the logic/ data capabilities of a component from other components/ applications/ sites. As an easy example, Flickr has a webservice that allows your website to send it a username and it will send back the addresses of all the pictures that user has. If you have your own photography site you can therefore upload all your photos to flickr but include them on your site by calling the webservice thus avoiding needing to upload them to both your site and your flickr account.
