Connecting to the Legacy Endpoint

The legacy endpoint has the behavior of a standard ASMX-based web service. To connect to it, you will add a web reference for your project. After the development tool has been given the URL of the legacy endpoint, it will retrieve the WSDL file that describes the service. It will use this information to build the proxy classes for the service.

Warning: The Dynamics GP web service is large, and uses some web service standards that are not fully supported by some development tools and applications that can access ASMX-based web services. You may not be able to create web references to the legacy endpoint of the Dynamics GP service from some of these tools.

The following topics discuss connecting to and using the legacy endpoint:

• Visual Studio 2005
• Visual Studio 2008 and later
• Web service namespace
• Creating a service instance
