For a proxy based client side approach to Web Services you will need to
create a cookie container for the proxy instance.
The client application' proxy uses the HttpClientProtocol classes which
by default do not know about sessions. Therefore you have to enable
cookie management in the client proxy class by adding code like this in
your client application:
myProxyClass.CookieContainer =
new CookieContainer();
It is important to mention that the session is only valid for a single
client proxy instance.
Of course the sample assumes you have configured your Web Service
correctly to maintain session state. You need to set the
[EnableSession=True] property of the WebMethod attribute which should be
included in ASP.NET's session management.
