from a desktop app, I want to add a web reference to the HelloWorld
web service I just created on my local system. problem is, when I
click add web reference and navigate to my web service:
c:\src#\WebSite3\WebService.asmx

I get errors listed in the right side panel: "there was an error
downloading c:\src#\website3 Access to the path c:\src#\website3 is
denied.

How do I enable access? I am trying to consume the web service using
the same user account which created it.

thanks,

-Steve
 
The account that created it does not necessarily is the one trying to run
it. You need to give the c:\src3\website3 directory the same rights as
inetpub\wwwroot so that the asp.net user can access it. Use Filemon before
you get it fixed, you may learn something.

thanks.

I forgot I had to use IIS manager to map a virtual directory to the
website directory. Then I had to "add application" to do whatever that
does.

Still, check permissions.

Good luck
