Accessing a XML Web Service from VC++.Net

There are several ways to create web service provider or client in VS. Net. You can do this in managed and native C++ code. For managed projects, you need to add a web reference, see more information on this here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxtskAddingRemovingWebReferences.asp. Do not get confused that sample is in VB, same steps work for C++ projects. In native code you can build web service using ATL Server, that allows you also to create Web service provider as ISAPI web module and provides simple classes to access Web services. Take a look on this sample and docs on classes it uses http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcsample/html/vcsamSecureSOAPSample.asp
Take a look on this walkthrough also, this is probably what you want to eventually achieve in your application, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vcsample/html/vcwlkVisualCApplicationsConsumingData.asp

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask follow up questions.
