Re: request help with first XML-RPC implementation in ASP environment

The reference is really here:
  http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec

And most of what you need, if you already have the XML-RPC serialized, ready to exchange over HTTP, is this: "An XML-RPC message is an HTTP-POST request. The body of the request is in XML. A procedure executes on the server and the value it returns is also formatted in XML."

Note that XML-RPC has no builtin security mechanism, so if you are using it to exchange any kind of sensitive data (say, commerce data, for instance), you need to include some sort of protection somewhere, like communicating over an IP tunnel (safer, simpler, infrastructure-dependent), or using encrypted payloads and some authentication/key exchange scheme (less safe, application-dependent, infrastructure-independent).
