I don't quite follow what you are asking. Why are you wrapping the MediaBin webservice within another webservice? What language\platform are you coding in...can you send along a snippet of code that illustrates what you are doing?

Hi mark,
My Web service is a intermediate application between Mediabin webservice and My website(which is written in ASP).

Following code i wrote for Authenticate user.

Public function ConnectToMediaBin()
{
MediaBinServer service = new MediaBinServer();

Uri u = new Uri( strURL );
//Use this to specify credentials in a ASP.NET web application
CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
cache.Add( u,"NTLM", new NetworkCredential( strUsername, strPassword, strDomain ));
service.Credentials = cache;
}
Now This ConnectToMediaBin() function executed every times when request comes from My Web Site , otherwise it gives exception "User not connected to Mediabin" like that.
I Want to maintain Session so that no need to execute ConnectToMediaBin() function everytime when request comes.

I think you better undrstand the scenario.
Please give me solution.

First, since your web service is written in ASP.NET why don't you use MBPNetModel as a local C# assembly instead of as a webservice? It is a lot cleaner than wrapping the MediaBin web service inside of another web service. Consult the MediaBin API guide to reference the MBPNetModel namespace.

Second, most webservices are meant to be stateless, but if you need to store state between calls, you could store it as an application variable....for example:

string key;

MediaBinServer service = ConnectToMediaBin();
Application.Add( key, service );
