General Functions > Configuring the MIE (Programmer's Guide) > Calling Web Services > Add MIE Web Service reference to your project

To use an MIE Web Service in your .net project (assuming you are using Microsoft's Visual Studio), right click on the name of your project in the solution explorer. Choose Add Web Reference. Copy and paste the production URL for the MIE Web Service you are adding from the help. Follow the on-screen instructions (they vary depending on the version of Visual Studio) to add the reference to your project.

Updating the Reference

If you are making updates to your code there is a chance the web service you are referencing has changed as well (since the last time you were maintaining your project). It is a good habit to update the web service references in your project each time you make changes. Find the web reference in your solution explorer, right click, and choose Update Web Reference. This process will re-query the web service and update all information about the web service within your project (such as methods, properties, etc)
