  Are you looking for one that utilizes SOAP, REST, or JSON Or any of the above

  If you are asking me if I can call for example web service on ebay.com, then the answer is yes!

  Hi,

  you can use wbservice bahavior http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/webservice/using.asp which is old news but it works in simple cases or you can use XMLHttpRequest object or just use some already made soap client library like this one:

  Hi Andy,
  
  In relation to your post:
  
  Suppose I want to store a username & password (that are needed as parameters in the webservice), what would be a secure way to save these so the user doesn't have to enter them each time Are the gadget settings meant for this
  

  System.Gadget.Settings.write("variableName", variableName);

  Thanks,

  Yeah, you would write them using System.Gadget.Settings.write(); Just remember that these settings are cleared if the Gadget is removed from the desktop/sidebar.

  If you want to create persistent settings across all instances of your gadget you could read from/write to the registry.

  Thank you niko.
  
  I quickly read the articles you suggested, but I was wondering whether it is allowed to call a web service on another domain from within the side bar gadget
  
  Thanks again.

  I don't think writing your ebay.com developer keys into the gadget is such a good idea. Anyone looking through your code would instantly have access to eBay's API using your allocated calls.
