I think not only are CTPs a nice look into the future, but also these little bits of information are also nice to know.

I'm glad to know this is something being strongly considered for a future release...

I need it now! Wondering if you could post something along the same lines which makes use of HTTP POST to communicate with POX based services on WCF.

This is great! As a heavy Exchange 2007 admin, I have already searched for snippets that work with web services. It is nice to have this finally built-in. I could have used this months ago. When can we get the updated code?

Great stuff and I can think of umpteen ways to leverage this.

As the 1st comment/reply states, "these little bits of information are also nice to know."

Could not agree more.

It hasn't been normal practice for the PowerShell team to announce CTPs ahead of time. CTP1 and CTP2 were publically announced only a few days before release.

If I could offer you a *guess* based on the CTP1 and CTP2 timelines, I'd *guess* we might see CTP3 just before the end of 2008.

Santa might be coming early...

All,

Check this post for info on how one can use the .NET Framework (and packaged C# compiler) to call a webservice:

(You don't have to setup all of the Visual Studio environment variables actually.)

Please make sure to support WCF out of the box. In particular, you need to support metadata exchange (mex).

Also, please be sure to test scenarios where the WSDL and schemas are being read off of disk, and not being fetched over the Internet.
