in which case he should upgrade to v5.0.x, if he can, as v4 doesn't support Soap natively. On v4 soap support can be added via extc (http://www.mgateway.com/) but as I've never used it I can't say how useful that is for working with a .Net client. In Cach� 5 one can wrap a query into an %XML.Dataset which arrives in the .Net environment as a .Net dataset.
As web services are stateless they require quite a bit of work for use in transactional applications (i.e. retrieve an object, manipulate it, save it back). For that kind of thing we're currently still stuck with the late binding server-side COM factory. The managed .Net component won't arrive before 5.1, whenever that is.
