An introduction to Web Service Security using WSE - Part I - The Code Project - C++ Web Services
Some big players as Microsoft and IBM built a group that dealed with the security problem (of Web Services), finally offering several specifications. The most important, and foundation of the others, is Web Service-Security (WS-Security or WSS).

Server-Side Asynchronous Methods for ASP.NET and WinFX - The Code Project - C# WebServices
This article describes how to make asychronous calls to a web service. This is useful when the web service has to perform some task that takes a while to complete before returning the result to the client. By making an asynchronous call, the thread of the calling process can go back into the pool and be useful for other purposes while waiting for the response.

WebService Connection problems
Quote from a newsgroup (slightly modified):
"If a website (or a webservice) calls a webservice on the same server, then there is no limit on outgoing connections on the Framework. Due to this, the number of outgoing connections to the ASMX page will be huge, and for each connect that takes place, one wildcard TCP port gets used. Since there is a limit of 5000 wildcard TCP ports on the OS, pretty soon, after 5000 or so socket.Connects(), they will start failing with "unable to connect exceptions".
If the authentication is set to NTLM, then you will run into this problem sooner. This is because NTLM uses one extra connection, and after each successful request, that connection is torn down. If you are running into this, try setting "UnsafeAuthenticatedConnectionSharing=true" on the underlying HttpWebRequest
of the client."
A web service client has in .NET by default a limit of 2 connections. You can adjust this limit by putting the following into the web.config file of the client web (not sure about winforms clients, but probably you can put the same into the config file here as well):

Solving "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." (Webservices)
Jan Thielen (MVP) gives a solution to the problem of sporadic errors of type "The underlying connection was closed".
In essence, you need to add the following code to your Webreference's Reference.cs file:

Sam Gentile : No More VSS, Its Subversion
Visual Sourcesafe or as it is now known Team System is not so stable it seems. This to a degree that makes Same Gentile refer to it under the name "Unsafe" (as opposed to its real name "SourceSafe"). His team is now going for the open-source freeware Subversion source code versioning system.

Ajax (programming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ajax is a hot buzzword these days (Asynchronous Javascript And Xml). It is a technique for making web GUIs that look more like windows forms applications (less flicker, less postback) because more operations are performed client-side.
