we are integrating sharepoint 2010 with window phone 7.
we want to create a interface on phone using which we can create a approval workflow on sharepoint site.
Is there any inbuilt sharepoint web service available??
If not what other options we have....
if we try to create our own web service for this , than what should be the functionality of that web service
Your question is too broad but, yes, SharePoint has web services.

I'm a Sitecore beginner, working on Sitecore 8 with ASP.NET.
There is a page where an Ajax call has to be made to get data.
Created a test web service in the project which responds to the ajax call with success. This service will be a wrapper.
I understand, I have to consume one of the 3 options (in the title) inside the test service, to get the Sitecore items and do stuff.
But all 3 appear similar to me & not sure which one to go with, to achieve my task
Also,
1. Is there an advantage of one over the other.
2. ..and when to use which one.
Sitecore Services Client is the framework or namespace that both Item Service and Entity Service sit within. Item Web API is the legacy framework.
Use Item service if you want to do basic stuff with the sitecore Items as this is a prebuilt api. Entity Service allows you to create your own API using the Sitecore.Services.Client framework and give you much more power and control.

Use can also use Sitecore.Services.Client to do the routing and you write the controller. see https://mikerobbins.co.uk/2015/06/25/sitecore-service-client-servicesapicontroller/
I have asp.net web service application created in VS 2010. I created this web service using ASP.NET Web Service Application template in VS 2010. My InfoPath form consumes my webservice. However to fill out my IP form, I first have to make sure I run my web service, otherwise I get errors like cannot connect to the webservice.
How can I make sure my web services are properly deployed to my SharePoint site that hosts infoPath form services? Please let me know the necessary steps. If my web services are deployed to my SharePoint site then there's no need to manually run my asp.net web service in the browser everytime I need to fill out the form. Thanks.
Here's the error message I got when I tried to browse my custom web service deployed to layouts folder:
http://abcd/_layouts/WebServiceDemo/MyCustomWebService.asmx
I couldn't find relevant message in 14-->LOGS. Any idea what's causing this? Thanks.
My own analysis: Please visit the web.config inside LAYOUTS folder and set Customerros to Off to get more meaningful error message.
I Googled "How to consume asp.net web service in SharePoint site".
The third hit was Walkthrough: Creating a Custom ASP.NET (ASMX) Web Service in SharePoint 2010. The post shows how to create, deploy and consume the service.
I am working with Visual Studio 2008 and SharePoint 2007. I have created a web part , a web user control that pulls data from a web service (binding a DropDownlist from web service) has been wrapped in my Web Part. When I deploy my web part it doesn't show me the data pulled from web service (Empty DropDownList). please advice how to use web parts that interacts with external web services.
Thanks a lot.

This should have everything you need.
Is it possible for a SharePoint 2010 Web Part to expose a web service (WCF?)?
I want a Web Part to send emails if a certain condition is met. The web part should be hit every 15 mins via a call initiated from a custom in-house scheduler.
Cheers
A web part is just a visual component. It can expose a web service. However, custom web services can be created and deployed to SharePoint where you can access data from a site (a list maybe) and add custom logic to send the email.
Here's a good guide on how to deploy web services to SharePoint.
So here is the scenario:
I have a MOSS 2007 box and I want my clients to be able to access a SharePoint site via the internet. I am told that I will be using an IPA and AD for authentication. However I have a DB outside of SharePoint that holds various business data and I want to use Web Services to access the data, manipulate it, and send it back to SharePoint via web parts.
The issue is that, from what I understand, I am going to have to authenticate the AD user every time a request to the Web Service happens. Obviously I dont want to do this every time because they have already authenticated to get onto the site, however I do want each call to have some form of security so its not open calls to my db. I do plan on having other applications access this service outside of SharePoint, so I dont want to have to reinstall the service for each application or even again.
Has anyone had to perform this task or something similar or do you have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thank you in advance and happy coding!
Why not just deploy the webservice to Sharepoint using a Sharepoint solution and a Feature.
That way it will be running under the sharepoint app pool and all authentication is done by sp.
Edit:
Seeing that SharePoint should not be in "control" (as stated in the comment), you should create the webservice, and run the application it's under in as using Windows Authentication. IMHO you should create a WCF Service. The, using the information found in this article you make the Service authenticate users against the AD usergroups they are in. see the "Security: Authentication" section of the article.
Then in Visual Studio you create a webpart and add a service reference to the project, pointing to your newly created Service. Have the webpart perform the needed logic (i.e. display data etc.)
Deploy the webpart to SharePoint using a SharePoint solution (.wsp files, created with WSPBuilder). Google for SharePoint + wspbuilder + tutorials. The solution should contain 1 feature to deploy the webpart. WSPBuilder integrates with VS and allows for the creation of WSPBuilde project. add a webpart feature item to the project (it will create the xml (deployment related) and code file for the webpart.
