Learn to tweak VS.NET-generated Web services

Learn to tweak VS.NET-generated Web services Creating Web services using Visual Studio .NET is deceptively simple, but most developers quickly find out that the self-generated .NET code requires a great deal of tweaking before it's ready for duty. Therefore, before you start building your next Web service using VS.NET's automated tools, it's important to know what code elements will need revision, and when these revisions are necessary.
For a clear example of these auto-generation problems, look no further than the http://tempuri.org namespace that VS.NET automatically assigns to every Web service. Without a healthy dose of code revision, this namespace will shackle your Web services, and VS.NET will generate errors based on the very same code that the application creates.
Find out which elements of VS.NET-generated Web service code will need tweaking, and learn how to best modify this code to get your Web service applications up and running as soon as possible.
