Senor...some updates for you

They say if you dont have anything to say, then either you're rocking or else rotting so much you cant say anything.

Well, in my case thankfully it was on the side of gliding gleefully - though not exactly rocking.

There are lots of things I did in the past few days on this project. Hmm, er...let me try to document it until my patience runs out of me - you'll see a lot of posts on top of this.

To begin with, after my OS was re-installed fresh, ASP.net started dancing on the IIS floor.

I kicked off my odyssey by a simple web service (WS).

Then, I thought of hosting a personal UDDI registry for this project - but voila, it turns out we cant do that unless we're running Windows 2003 Server - it has UDDI services to do that. I pondered on a dual-boot OS on my system - but then, soon decided to use a public UDDI Business Registry (UBR) by Microsoft (MS). They have a replica on test UBR where folks like me can play around.

I created a MS passport > created a provider > published tModel > published service ....and created a sample VB.Net web application with a button which invokes the registered web service on click. I found this MSDN seminar very useful to come up to this point...
