The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Now, I realize there are many ways to perform Web Services other than the standard way it's done using Visual Studio and asmx pages but my boss dropped this bomb on me today and left me scratching my head.  He told me that asmx is "like 5 years ago" and that there were much better and more secure ways of performing Web Services today.

So, my question is:  Creating a Web Reference project in Visual Studio is NOT the way to do Web Services today?  It's not the most up-to-date option for a ASP.NET developer?  If not, then what?  And is he really going to make me leave my cozy home of Visual Studio 2008 that I love so much!! :P

Also, what version of SOAP/REST/etc does asmx in VS2008 use?
