Hi!
Im quite new to the .NET-stuff and I'm just trying to get a
client-server program to work. I have a server with a Web
Service-program then Im using
wsdl to make the proxy-file to include in my clientapp.

Everything works fine when client and server are running on the same
machine but when I try to move the client to another computer
(200MHz,win98), how do I do ?

Do I have to use wsdl on the client to create the the proxy from
there?
Do I have to install the SDK on every client, when doing anything
..NETish?


(I try not to use Visual Studio here, following an example at
http://www.codeguru.com/Csharp/Csharp/cs_webservices/tutorials/article.php/c5477)

ok, got it, I should use install the redistributable on the client and
then copy the wsdl to the client and run it from there. (But why isnt
wsdl.exe included in the redist?)

The .NET runtime will be enough.

No, you should not copy the wsdl to the client and run it.

In your original post you said you are using wsdl to make the proxy-file to
include in the client app. I suppose this means you are using wsdl.exe
on a wsdl file. Once you generate the proxy from this step, you need to
compile it. The output of that is a DLL. This is one of the pieces that
needs to be installed on the client. The DLL, not the wsdl, nor wsdl.exe.

There are 2 stages we are discussing here:
design and compilation - in which you need wsdl.exe, csc.exe, nmake.exe,
and so on. You need the sdk for this stage. The SDK also requires the
redistributable!
running the app - in this stage you need the "redistributable", which is
the runtime piece. You don't need the SDK.

Ok, I was worried that if I ran the wsdl.exe-->compiler-->dll-file on
the server it would store information about itself and that this info
would aplpy for the clients...anyway forget it, thanks anyway
