Hi:

I have programmed a Web Service called Customer.asmx.

This is the code:

<%@ WebService Language="VB" Class="Customer"%>
Imports System.Web.Services
<WebService(Namespace:="DigitalSnd1")> _
Public Class Customer
Public Name As String
<WebMethod()> Public Sub Custname()
Name="The name is John"
End Sub
End Class

I also have programmed an aspx to call this Web Service

<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Customer</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim theCustom As new Customer()

theCustom.Custname()
%>
<%=theCustom.Name%>
</body>
</html>

I get an error at this line

<%=theCustom.Name%>

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'Name' is not a member of 'Customer'.

What Could be wrong If I have "Name" declared as public variable in the web service code??

Thanks!!

if you ignore all the cool web services thingie and break thie code down the basic method, you will see something like this:

public sub Custname()
dim name = "The name is John"
end Sub

again, forget those web services tool.... just call those method using another class (assume this method is wrapped by another class)

dim myClass = someClass()
myClass.Custname.name <-- now do u see what's wrong?
