Hi John,
Sure, webservice is aiming at interop between heterogenious platforms. The
key point is that the websevice itself should be ready for interop(it
conform to webservice standards and expose standard and correct WSDL
document ....).
For consuming realworld webservice, here is an article mentioned consuming
amazon webservice on code project:
#Implementing Amazon Web Services in VB.NET
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webser...ebService.aspx
also the following msdn sample links some existing publich webservices that
you can also use for test:
#Consuming a Web Service Sample
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...22(VS.80).aspx
If you have any further questions, welcome to post here.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng

where an initial response from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by contacting
