There are advantages of using partial classes for IWEB

The benefits of using partial classes:

• Single entry point allows people to automatically know what address to use to connect to web services
• Web services methods behave normally and you can use tools like visual studio to consume the methods
• No need for reflection when calling a web method
• Partial classes automatically resolve any conflicts on compiling

However, there are disadvantages:

1. There is no way to delete the web method once it is installed
2. You have to code the IWEB extensions in VB

We have immediate plans to adress issue number 1 in the next 60 days by creating an administration screen that will show each installed IWEB extension and allow yo to delete unwanted IWEB extensions.

Issue number 2 should be addressed in the next 6 months. The hope is that the IWB entry point would be a class that inherits from a C# class that inherits from a VB class.
