Asp.Net web service: I would like to return error 403 forbidden

Question

I have got a web service programmed in c# / asp.net.

[WebService(Namespace = \"http://example.com/\")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProf         


        

Answer 1

You can protect all your methods by placing the code in your WebService constructor. This prevents your WebMethod from even being called:

public Service(): base()
{
    if (!GetUser().LoggedIn)
    {
        Context.Response.StatusCode = (int)System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Forbidden;
        Context.Response.End();
    }
}
