.NET Web service: It is a method that enables cross-platform integration by USING XML, HTTP, and SOAP for communication among two devices over WWW. It simply shares BUSINESS logic, processes, and data through programmatic interfaces across a network.

Both of them are powerful TECHNOLOGIES that provide SUITABLE frameworks and thus support the development of distributed technologies and application integration. There is some difference between these two technologies as given below.
