I know there\'s a lot of questions on SO similar to this, but I couldn\'t find one for this particular issue.

A couple of points, first:

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2005

1. Create a new console application project in Visual Studio
2. Add a "Web Reference" to the Lists.asmx web service.
   • Your URL will probably look like: http://servername/sites/SiteCollection/SubSite/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx
   • I named my web reference: ListsWebService
3. Write the code in program.cs (I have an Issues list here)

Here is the code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;

namespace WebServicesConsoleApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                ListsWebService.Lists listsWebSvc = new WebServicesConsoleApp.ListsWebService.Lists();
                listsWebSvc.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
                listsWebSvc.Url = "http://servername/sites/SiteCollection/SubSite/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
                XmlNode node = listsWebSvc.GetList("Issues");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}
