I have a few questions about setting up webservices.

I followed the instructions for doing a test of passing LLBL Entities over webservices. It works fine. I also added the post-build event, which also seems to work.

Once this manual/painful process is complete, will I ever have to walk through all of those steps again (like when I regenerate)? Or does the post-build event take care of all of that going forward?

We are still deciding if remoting would be a better way to go, but one issue I have heard (I'm not completely clear on this) is that webservices will be easier to port to WCF than remoting. Anyone have insight (or links) on this?

Thanks,

Phil

Most of the steps I believe are one-time, but you will have to update your proxy classes if the signature of any of your webmethods changes.
