I'm studying WCF and all the starting material I find all comes down to very basic things, exposing methods that get some parameters and return some value.
I need to create a web service that will be the interface between the database and external applications. External applications can do insertions, deletions, and changes to records.
I think this should be done via XML file exchange, ie for the external application to insert a record of a new client for example, it should send to the Web Service an XML with all the data needed to register the aforementioned customer.
How do I implement this?
