BeginInvoke Methods

[ticars]

This is probably going to be obvious to most of you, but I can't seem
to figure out the answer. If I have a web service method that I want
to call from a remote application, do I need to call the BeginXXX and
EndXXX methods of that method? It seems to me it works fine without
them, even though they are in the template. What exactly do they do?
Thanks for any help

They allow for calling the webservice asynchronously. If you don't need an
async call then you can simply call the XXX method rather than using
Begin/EndXXX.
