Hi Mark,
I’m trying to learn how to use web services, specifically I’m trying to learn how to delete a subsite using a webservice from within a SharePoint workflow.
Struggling a little bit to find any helpful guides as I’m a complete beginner with calling webservices. Do you know of or have you written any articles on this?
Excelent page my friend, thanks for the info.
Live Long and Prosper… :)

Thanks,
Kiran
