Google.com is a well-known web search engine. Google has made a web service available that allows developers to interface with their search engine within their own applications. A user can search for any topic on the web. A query will return data about the web pages that are found.
Though APIs and web services can both facilitate data transfers between applications over the internet, they are not the same, and the terms should not be used interchangeably in every case. The key distinction is that web services are a type of API: All web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services.
When creating a New Project, under the language of your choice, select Web and then change to .NET Framework 3.5 and you will get the option of creating an ASP.NET WEB Service Application.
