This my scenerio
1. I have created a web service
2. I need to host it in IIS locally for testing purpose.
3. Can we set port locally or automatically port '80' is assigned.
I have been wrestling with web services technology/techniques for part of 2010 - learning how to reate/consume/deploy... I have also been experimenting with third party web controls from ComponentArt. In some of the samples from ComponentArt I observed that they use .asmx files locally to populate their custom data controls (datagrids, comboboxes, treeview controls...). What is interesting (and a little bit confusing to me) is that in the ComponentArt samples they reference the web services directly within their controls in the markup. My question is if this can be done normally with controls that ship with Visual Studio (any version -- I have em all 2005, 2008, 2010). I ask this question because from VS I only know to reference web services by right clicking on the project in the solution explorer to add a web reference.
Here is the services tag used by ComponentArt
<Services>
<asp:ServiceReference path="FileExplorerTreeViewService.asmx" />
</Services>
Then in the property grid of a data control -- say a treeview control-- they reference the web service, and when the project is run -- the control is populated with data from the web service.
Do data controls from VS support this technique? My other question is if there is a benefit to using a web service as a datasource for a control and what is this benefit? What is the criteria for using a web service in this manner?
Is there any way i can create and host a WCF service, and my client apps just send username and passwords to the service to suthenticate them selves, without using Certificates, on client and Server side???
IF NOT:
Then is there any way i can do the above, but just using certificates on server side, i dont want all of my client apps' machines installing the certificate?
I created a WCF Service Library and there're 2 services (http endpoint and https endpoint) in the App.cofig file. The WCF Service Host had not problem to host the http endpoint but failed to host the https endpoint with these messages:
WCF Service Host cannot find any metadata. Additional Info: The service cannot be started. This service has no endpoint defined. Please add at least one endpoint for the service in config file and try again.
What's wrong with the configuration?

How to Host the Web Application on IIS 7.0 so that 100 people can be accessed locally.
Request you to provide steps on how to go ahead with it.
I developed a web service in VS2010 on my local machine, wrote a consumer of it also locally, and that all works.
I copied the dll and the asmx file to our server, and I am getting an error when I try to invoke it from a browser (also still on the server machine) to make sure it correctly exposes its web methods, but it is not, it is saying "Could not create type 'Service'". That error comes from this line:
Line 1: <%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/WarrantyDuplicate.cs" Class="Service" %>
There other web services in the same folder on the server that all work fine so I don't believe it's an IIS setup thing.
This is my first web service in C# and when I created it in VS I did think it odd that the code behind file went into App_Code (as you can see from the line in the asmx file) and is just named dot-cs rather than asmx-dot-cs. But since it worked fine locally, I wasn't sure that mattered.
I have created a webservice (Service.asmx) which performs a simple db update However i have encounted a limitation with the installation workstation.
Turns out that the workstation is not allowed to have web servers (IIS etc) installed onto it.
so obviously i have a problem now.
There is currently some windows application installed on the workstation that is supposed to call my webservice to perform an update.
Is there any alternatives to getting web service up on the local environment?
I have developped an asmx webservice with visual studio and I deploy on IIS 7 which has 3.5 Framework by copying all the files.
When testing it says
Could not load file or 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I don't use [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService] so I don't understand why it tries to load System.Web.Extensions.
Note: I'm not using any other assembly/lib I'm just learning webservice so it's very simple: I create a webservice Test.asmx with one method which uses one class Test.cs within same namespace WebServiceTest. This works locally.
I have a WCF server for downloading the file from server to user's local drive, when user clicks the download button on client.aspx page.
Currently i am giving hard-coded path for saving the file, but need to open Dialog box to ask user's to get location to save the file on drive.
My Client Code is:
//Service1Client client = new Service1Client();
client.Open();
string s = client.GetData(5);
stream1 = client.GetFileStream("20101102.zip");
string filePath=@"c:Test";
outstream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
//CopyStream(stream1, outstream);
const int bufferLen = 10000000;
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferLen];
int count = 0;
int bytecount = 0;
while ((count = stream1.Read(buffer, 0, bufferLen)) > 0)
{
outstream.Write(buffer, 0, count);
bytecount += count;
}
}
When I deploy my web service, I get the following error:
There is no build provider registered for the extension '.svc'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'.
I found one thread ([URL] that a solution but, I can not get it to work. If I make the changes to my web config file as in the thread, I then get a configuration error. One odd thing is that, if I check the machine.config file on my machine, located at C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIGmachine.config, I don't see any of the config settings described in the thread. As a matter of fact, there is no mention of "compilation" or "buildProviders" at all.
Here is my entire config file listing:

We have a web service running live. Last week, we pulled the source code down to my machine and successfully built it.
My goal is to become familiar with this code and document it. My problem is that I am not sure how to get it running locally.
First of all, I have to configure it in IIS or something? How do I do that, and is that indeed the right place to begin? I tried creating a consumer in a separate VS solution, and when I said browse for local web services it said "Active Directory Services cannot find the web server."
I tried this link, but got lost when it said "3.Under Visual Studio installed templates, click ASP.NET Web Service." because I don't have that template.
I've created Web Services in .Net 3.5 & Consumed those Web Services in a Client Web Application. Now i want to Host the WebService in IIS 5.1. I'm very new to .net, I'm using VS 2010, Wndows XP Service Pack 3, IIS 5.1;

View 2 RepliesA customer reported that our asmx web service is continually increasing in memory (mem usage as well as private bytes). We are able to reproduce the problem in our lab with Windows 2003 Server SP2 (fully patched) on some of the machines. The customer is using Windows 2008.
We created a Hello World web service targeting the 2.0 framework built under VS2005 SP1 and a test client that continues to call it. The memory increases steadily - approximately 40K per client request. If the test app is paused, the memory remains the same. When it is closed, the memory drops. Explicit calling of GC.Collect does not drop the memory.
We have run the memory profiler on the service and the leak is all native memory. We have uninstalled/re-installed the Framework on one of the machines but no difference. To our knowledge all of the security and IIS settings are not modified. We have compared app pool, default web site and virtual directory properties to machines that have no problem and they are identical.

I have made a very simple Asp.net web site with a WCF service - "Person.svc" - that runs fine when hosted on Asp.Net development server(visual web developer 2010), but if I host on Mono's XSP 2 and access some parse error is thrown. Can WCF services live inside a XSP Web site?

View 1 RepliesMy WCF Client calls my WCF Service which then calls ASMX Web Service. The problem is i have configured my wcf client and wcf service to windows credentials type but when wcf service calls asmx service the user credentials (default windowsidentity) is not passed to asmx service.
In WCF Service i am able to get user identity by using : Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name;
WCF Service - i have disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication. ASMX Web Service - i have disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication.
