webservices consumer

<i><b>Originally posted by : Diego (diego.delvecchio@libero.it)</b></i><br /><br />Hi,<br />I have developed a webservice which contains several methods. These refers<br />to an external dll kept in session (in the asmx page). Up until this point<br />the system works fine.<br /><br />Then, I have the necessity to create a consumer (aspx file) of this<br />webservice. In order to use the webservice methods in a sequential order<br />(i.e. call it once, then twice etc.), I need that the consumer refers always<br />to the same object instance in the asmx file. I mean, I'd like to mantain<br />the state on between calls.<br /><br />It seems that SOAP doesn't mantain the state between the consumer and<br />webservice.<br /><br />Any suggestion?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
