Adding a Web Reference to Visual Studio WinForm Project

Question

I'm trying to get familiar with web services. I figured, I'd make some dinky little application using the Path of Exile resources. Found here: http://www.pathofexile.com/developer/docs/api-resources

Following these instructions on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb628649.aspx

Doing Step 4 and tried to enter the URL listed on one of their pages, http://api.pathofexile.com/leagues , and when I hit "Go" it pops up with a download box asking me if I want to save the JSON file instead of just presenting a list of web services available for consumption. If I hit "Cancel" the browser goes back to the "home page" for Visual Studio and doesn't list any web services available.

What am I missing, or doing wrong?

Answer 1

If you would like to play with some open to public SOAP web-services that can be consumed via Visual Studio Wizard take a look here SOAP services

Also if you have an access to sharepoint you can have some fun. If you want to stick to PoE, then use NuGet and add JSON support. cheers
