HI Scott
Thanks. But the ASP.NET webservice project does NOT compile at all if I
give an optional parameter for a function/procedure under <webmethod>
attribute.

Does this mean, there is no way to an optional parameter in a web
service call ?

If you use overloading, you need to do something like the following for
e.g. -

<WebMethod(MethodName:="foo")> _
public function Foo() As String
end function

<WebMethod(MethodName:="foo1")> _
public function Foo(ByVal x As Int) As String
end function

C# does not have the concept of optional. VB does, but (although WSDL and
SOAP support it) the functionality is not implemented for webmethods.

int A(int a){...}
int A(int a, int b){...}

Ale

AS far as I know, and my research goes , u cannot send an optional
parameter in an asp.net webservice.

but u can send a default value for that parameter , which May/May-Not
solve the purpose of optional parameters.

Observation: I used only string in my optional parameters

Example:

[WebMethod (EnableSession=true,Description="" )]

public int Sample(string Parameter1, string Parameter2)

{

    int A=0;

    int B=0;

    if (Parameter1 != "")

    {

        A = System.Convert.ToInt32(Parameter1);

    }

    if (Parameter2 != "")

    {

        B = System.Convert.ToInt32(Parameter2);

    }

    return A + B;
