breaking web service?

I currently have a SQL 2000 RS SP2 installation and upgraded the back end to
2005. I think I read somewhere that the web service is not compatible
anymore? I am using the web services and don't want to have to change any
code if I don't have to. Will my 2000 WS implementation continue to work
after I install SSRS 2005?
Thanks
ScottHi Scott,
As for the SQL Server reporting service, the webservice interface should
definitely change from version 2000 to version 2005 as Reporting service
2005 has involved some new objects and methods signatures. A simple way to
check this is compare the WSDL service description of the two ones and look
for the service interface definiations. If you want to migrate your
application from RS 2000 to RS 2005, I think it is necessary to regenerate
the service proxy and use the new proxy methods.
