Web service input boxes in IE

[Kishore]

I created a simple web service with one web method accepting custom C# class.
I thought I can test this in IE like get the xml equivalent of C# class and
paste in input box.
But IE is not showing any input boxes.
I added HTTP POST in web.config, didn't help.

How can I able to submit my xml throguh IE ?

TIA
Kishore

The test pages created by .NET for a .ASMX web service do not produce inputs
for complex parameters.

You might want to try soapUI from http://www.soapUI.com.

I will check soapui.com
Any idea, what makes it not to show input boxes, what steps do i need to do
to show them ?

Thanks

You would have to rewrite the page, which is located at
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\DefaultWsdlHelpGenerator.aspx.
You then have to modify the machine.config to point to the new version.

The version supplied by Microsoft simply has no support for complex types at
all.
