The http handler on the server receives the request and keeps it open (implementing a long poll type mechanism). At some point, a user running a desktop app invokes some UI that causes information t...

In my case I'm using the PayPal WSDL 2) Before you can use any proxy class, you must first create an instance of your service reference 3) Once you create an instance of your service reference, then just do [ser...
