Difference between SiteData.Url and SiteData.GetSiteUrl

So I looked at this, and I wondered what the difference between SiteData.Url and SiteData.GetSiteUrl is. After testing it, the SiteData.Url is the full URL of the Web Service that you are calling. SiteData.GetSiteUrl is a method that returns the URL of the site collection itself. You can pass any valid URL through this method and it will return the top-level site collection (including any sub web urls, lists, etc).

Example:

C#
//assumes SiteDataWS is the reference to the site data web service
SiteDataWS.SiteData oSite = new SitedataWS.SiteData;
oSite.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredentials("user","password","domain");


SiteDataWS._sSiteMetadata siteMData;


SiteDataWS._sWebWithTime[] subwebs;


string users, groups;


string[] arrGroups;




oSite.GetSite(out siteMData, out subwebs, out users, out groups, out arrGroups);




Response.Write(oSite.Url);//returns the web service URL from the Web Service reference




string outUrl, outSiteID;//the url and Site GUID to be returned by GetUrl


oSite.GetSiteUrl(oSite.Url, out outUrl, out outSiteID);




Response.Write(outUrl);//returns the url of the site that the web service is hosted under
