Does .NET support one-way Web service operations? Does Microsoft SOAP Toolkit support one-way Web service operations?
Yes, .NET framework does support one-way messages. To set a void method as one-way operation, set the OneWay property to true on SoapDocumentMethodAttribute or on SoapRpcMethodAttribute attribute. In such cases, the Web service client is intending to just send some notification to the server and not expect any response. The server in such cases returns 202 Accepted HTTP response to the client. And there will be no output message in the WSDL file for such methods. The support for one-way Web service operations was also added in the latest SOAP Toolkit 3.0 release.
