using vb6 as a web services (soap) client

Hi,

I have a web service implemented in ASP.NET that I wish to consume using
vb6, and I'm just tring to figure out the best way to do this.

I have downloaded the SOAP toolkit version 3. As I understand it, puts some
COM wrappers around generic SOAP functionality. However, I was rather hoping
for some equivalent to .Net's "web references" where I can automatically
generate a load of client-side proxy code from the WSDL, then use the SOAP
server as if it were just another com object.

is this functionality available anywhere (in soap toolkit, .Net SDK or
elsewhere?)

TIA

Andy

Check out www.PocketSOAP.com
It works well. I've used it several times.
