Hi,

assuming that the SAP-side is covered, you should be able to obtain a WSDL-File from your SAP-Application Server. The address of the WSDL-File is somehow like http://yoursapserver:yourport/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/yourwebservicename?wsdl, where yoursapserver, yourport and yourwebservicename depend on your system settings and of course on your webservice definition.

Now start Visual Studio and create a new Windows Project. Add a web reference to your Project with the built-in wizard (right-klick in the Project-Explorer, select "Add Web-Reference"). Follow the steps in the wizard, by pasting the address of the WSDL file mentioned above and providing login data. At least, you should give it a name, which will be the name of the Proxy-Class generated by the wizard.

If the wizard finishes successfully, you can use the new class in your .NET-Project. Sample Code (VB.NET):

        Dim cr As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("SAP-Username", "SAP-Password")
        Dim ws As New MyWebProxyClass.ZWHOAMIService
        Dim Result as String
       
        ws.Credentials = cr
        Try
            Result = ws.ZWhoami()
            Me.TextBox1.Text = Result
        Catch ex As Exception
            Me.TextBox1.Text = "Error: " & ex.Message
        End Try

Hope it helps.
