WebBroker .Exe Application and IIS 6.0

If you develop WebBroker using WindowsXP (and IIS 5.0), you've no doubt encountered issues when deploying under Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0.

Make sure to add your WebBroker application to the "Web Service Extensions" under IIS Management Console, otherwise, IIS will simply ignore your application and return a 404 error.

1. Right click on "Web Service Extensions" and click "Add a new Web service extension

2. enter the Extension name, such as, "EmailSubscribe" and then add a reference to the .EXE application.

Flah Bam!

Delphi 2010 WSDL Importer Bug

I just spent 4 hours trying to consume a simple sales tax web service with Delphi 2010. After scouring the Internet, I found an article by Dr. Bob explaining how the new versions (post D7) of the Delphi WSDL Importer are buggy.

So, I opened trusty ole D7, imported the WSDL, and consumed said web service in about 3 minutes.
