ITC172 Assignment 4 (Web Services)

Overview

This assignment is going to focus on consuming existing web services. We will also use a Master page to give the site consistency and Ajax panels so that we can use the services without redrawing the whole page.

The Assignment

Start a new empty web site

Add a master page. You should give the master page a basic style and a banner of some sort. The site is going to focus on business tools. The main page will also contain links to the other pages.

Add a new content page. On this page we are going to add three web services:
Mortgage Web Services
Break even point
Stock quote

For each web service you should provide text boxes to accept whatever input is required and then display the results of the service appropriately.

These and the other web services can all be found at Web Serves.Net

Each service should be put in its own AJax box, so it can be executed separately

Add another content page. This one will contain the US ZipCode web service. YOu should implement all four methods. Again put it in an Ajax box.

Another content page will contain the Global weather web service. Implement both of its methods.

A final content page will be to display error information. Validate all text fields and place all code that could fail in try catches
