Hi<br />
<br />
I am writing my first application &nbsp;using c# winforms and webservices. It's &nbsp;c# winforms and gets its data by &nbsp;connecting to a .net frameworks web service running on server 2003 with IIS and SQL Server 2005. I control everything the server, the database and the client. So I have a great degree of control. &nbsp;I would like to be able to hide the information given out by the .asmx &nbsp;file and be able to transmit the data securely and encrypted. &nbsp;Any information on doing this or pointing me in the right starting direction with websites, books or 3rd party tools would be appreciated.

Webservice security c# winforms application

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.
