Calling a Web Service Method from a Process

Prerequisites

• A valid Web Service — for example a live, valid WSDL file.

Good to Know

• In some cases, the type of the object instance returned by a web method may need to implement the IConvertible interface in order for the web method to be used with the Web Service AgileShape.
