Greetings, This seems a simple question, but I don't seem to see the answer in the docs, and I've had varying experiences with it in practice, so I thought I would ask:
Does a WebService maintain state for a specific instance? For example, if I have a WebApplication which instantiates a WebService variable then sets some properties for the WebService, how long will those property settings remain valid? I've written a basic WebApplication which does this, and the properties are fine for the first call or two, then suddenly they aren't set anymore. I haven't (intentionally) freed the instance, so I'm wondering if there's something weird happening here... Or, on the other hand, maybe what I'm missing is a change to the state of the WebApplication - but that doesn't really make sense, either, since I can still call the methods on the WebService (it's just that within the WebService methods, the property values are no longer accessible). Any ideas or suggestions? Tracy
