"Cassini" may be the preventer of your productivity. vs2k5 comes with a mini-webserver for running web projects.
You need to "Publish" your webservice to your local machines IIS to make it available through IE on the standard port 80 url. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eddie Lascu Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 2:25 PM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Deploying Web Services in Visual Studio 2005 I have done my share of Web Services back in the days (cca VS2003). Now I need to write a new web service and I see things have changed somehow. After trying several methods, I went back to the basics and tried the "Hello World" method. I can run it in debug, from VS2005, but I can see that the URL uses "localhost" and a port number. If I try replacing the "localhost" with my machine name or IP address it doesn't work. In the old days I would get all the files needed and deploy them by creating a specific folder and web sharing it. That doesn't work anymore. And I remember being able to run Web Services w/o having to indicate what port number should be used. I think I need a guide on how to set all the permissions needed by the IIS to allow anyone connect to my web service. Is there a resource somewhere on the net to give me a head start on this task? I did a quick search on MSDN hoping to find a step-by-step guide that would discuss all the aspects of deploying a web service. My Web Service needs to access data in a database, log events and send MQ messages. If I have so many problems deploying the simplest one, I can only imagine the trouble I'll through to have the entire functionality implemented. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Eddie PS: I posted this question on multiple forums.
