R – upgrade an ASP.NET web service to WCF and still call it from ASP.NET 1.1

asp.netwcfweb services

I need to make a change to an ASP.NET web service written a couple years ago on 2.0. I call this web service from an old 1.1 web site. I need to make some changes to the web service, so am thinking, should I rewrite this into a WCF service and if so, will I still be able to use it from my 1.1 web site?

Best Answer

Yes this will work. Your service will need to be at least .net 3.0, but as long as you use a basicHttpBinding or wsHttpBinding, you can consume it like any other webservice.
