Will .Net Web Services support Attachments
 

We have a customer who is planning to build a Rich Client with .Net and communicate with a WebSphere J2EE Application Server using Web Services. The would also like to have binary attachment support through these services. We have been able to demonstrate a Java Client calling J2EE WebServices using Web Services attachments but would like demo .Net doing the same

Thank

Take a look at DIME in WSE:

Using Web Services Enhancements to Send SOAP Messages with Attachments
See how Web Services Enhancements for Microsoft .NET supports sending
attachments using DIME and WS-Attachments specifications.

Re: Will .Net Web Services support Attachments
 

Could you just convert the file to a binary array and send it along to the
webservice? The receiver just reassembles the bytes and writes it to
disk/wherever?

We do this for an internal application and it works like a charm.

Does anybody know the drawbacks of doing this vs. using WS-Attachment?
