The holiday web service is free to use. However, if you would like to avoid making web service calls, we're offering the Holiday Service code, in compiled (DLL) form and in source code (VB.NET source code) for purchase. Purchasing provides you with all of the countries that are supported at the time of your purchase.
DLL Purchase
The DLL may be referenced in your projects and supports the same methods as the web services. The DLL will not have the web service attributes and cannot be directly referenced in an .ASMX file. If you wish to use this DLL as a local web service, you will need to write a wrapper DLL that has the necessary web service code in it. Purchase Price... $20.
Source Code Purchase
The source code is written in VB.NET. Note, it was not written using Visual Studio.NET or WebMatrix. For convenience, a build.bat batch file will be provided that will compile the source code into a DLL. The source code will have the web service attributes and the compiled DLL can be directly referenced in an .ASMX file. Purchase Price... $45.
Note: Payments are handled via PayPal and the product will be delivered via e-mail, once the payment has been completed, to your buyer address. If you wish to have the product sent to a different address, please provide that in the Notes field.
