We will make a simple mathematical operation for Addition, Multiplication, and Division. A web service will be created.

Initial chamber

Step 1. Open Visual Studio 2010 and create an empty website. Give a suitable name webservice_demo.

Step 2. In Solution Explorer, you get your empty website and add a web form, Web Service. Here are the steps.

For Web Form

webservice_demo (Your Empty Website) - Right-click, Add New Item, then Web Form. Name it webservice_demo.aspx.

For WebService

webservice_demo (Your Empty Website) - Right-click, Add New Item, then Web Service.

Web Service

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for WebService
/// </summary>
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
// [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class WebService : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    public WebService()
    {
        // Uncomment the following line if using designed components
        // InitializeComponent();
    }

    [WebMethod]
    public string HelloWorld()
    {
        return "Hello World";
    }

    [WebMethod]
    public int Mul(int a, int b)
    {
        return a * b;
    }

    [WebMethod]
    public int Add(int a, int b)
    {
        return a + b;
    }

    [WebMethod]
    public int Div(int a, int b)
    {
        return a / b;
    }
}

Design chamber

Step 3. Now open your webservice _demo.aspx file, where we create our simple design with the Textbox and a button.

Code chamber

Step 4. Open your webservice_demo.aspx.cs and write some code so that our application starts working.

webservice_demo.aspx.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    WebService webserv = new WebService();

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int add;

        add = webserv.add(int.Parse(TextBox1.Text), int.Parse(TextBox2.Text));
        TextBox3.Text = add.ToString();
    }

    protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int mul;

        mul = webserv.mul(int.Parse(TextBox1.Text), int.Parse(TextBox2.Text));
        TextBox3.Text = mul.ToString();
    }

    protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int div;

        div = webserv.div(int.Parse(TextBox1.Text), int.Parse(TextBox2.Text));
        TextBox3.Text = div.ToString();
    }
}
