Hi,

I am new to web services.

I can see the code by default in services.cs file

C#

[WebMethod]
    public string HelloWorld() {
        return "Hello World";

Please tell me why we are adding [WebMethod] on top of every function that we are writing.
What does it mean. Please help.

Thanks in advance
