UpdateListItem Web Service to Update Sharepoint Document Library

There are two main functions: UploadDocument and WSSUpdateFile. The 1st function is passed Local file name (On file system) and remote file name (to be used inside doc lib. Once the file is uploaded, the other function is passed file name, and any meta data column values to be updated, for test purpose, i created a column named "TestCol" in my test document library and passed it "Test Value", but this function can be passed as many number of meta data column values as required, just add them in the xml batch inside the function with column name and the value. To update a file properties, normally its ID is required to access it and update its properties (even inside folders). I have used CAML (Access the recent uplaoded file and get its ID) then this ID is used in List Web service UpdateListItems function to update the properties of the file. Included is function "CreateFolder" which can be used to create any number of folder/subfolders within a Doc Lib. Most of the common required values like Portal URL, Doc Lib name, user, pwd, domain, folder name (where files reside to be uploaded) are set into Web.config for easy modification. Main function access these values to determine required data and authentication. To upload teh files lets say from D:\Test folder, in web.config under globalsharedpath key "" Pass only "D:\" and once the program is running, pass only "Test" in the input folder name. 1 thing to remember is that some of SharePoint web services are site specific, means u need to reference the exact site/subsite to play with it, for example if i have a subsite under http://portal/sitedirectory/site then list web servic erefernce should be like http://portal/sitedirectory/site/_vti_bin/lists.asmx.
