Hi all,

I really hope someone here can help !

I have designed and built an ASP.NET web service with Visual Studio .NET.

The web service outputs some dummy XML data when its called with some simple
parameters. I have tested the web service on the PC it was written on
(Windows XP, IIS 6, .NET 1.1, VS .NET) through the default HTTP / HTML
interface with Internet Explorer. All works fine.

I am now having problems running the web service on another .NET PC.

The target PC is Windows 2000 Server, with IIS and .NET framework v1.1. I
have un-installed and re-installed the .NET framework to be sure (using the
latest version from microsoft.com).

The problems are as follows ...

I try to use Chr$(34) (NOTE : I have also tried Chr(34) ), Left(string,
int), Right (string, int), Dim objXML As New Xml.XmlDocument, Split(string,
character) and UBound(array), but at every instance I get an error saying

Name 'Ubound' is not declared
or
Type 'Xml.XmlDocument' is not defined
etc etc

I am using the methods properly (with 'proper' values instead of what I've
written above) and everything works fine on the box with VS.Net on it.

To install the code, I copied the whole project folder from the WWWROOT
folder of the source PC to the WWWROOT folder of the target PC.

To run the code, I am using a web browser to surf to the ASMX file through
http://localhost/....

I have tried adding 'Imports System.String' at the top of the ASMX file, but
this then gives me a overloading error with the Split function (BC30519:
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Split' can be called
without a narrowing conversion:).

I am really confused, and not sure what to try next. I'm sure there must be
a book or article online somewhere that talks you through the process of
deploying a web service, but I can't find it ! I've spent several hours
looking through google, metacrawler, microsoft.com, gotdotnet and this
newsgroup and i'm really stuck !

Please, *please* can someone give me some help !!!

Many thanks,


Andi Twine.
 
Hi,

Basically you need to copy the webservice directory from your
development machine under intetpub/wwwroot directory on your server.
Then you should mark web service directory as application in IIS MMC. It
seems to me that you just copy *.asmx file.

Thanks Natty.

This is what I thought I had done. I think I may be missing the
'application' setting in IIS.

Do you know of any good walkthroughs online that might help me in setting up
the folder as an application ?

Thanks,

Andi Twine.
 
No,

But it's easy.

open the IIS MMC and select the web service folder. R. click and select
properties. select the directory tab and press the 'Create' button.
