both ways for copying manually and using the publish wizard should work. AND using the asmx directly shpould work fine, too, you dont HAVE to compile in order to use the web service.<br />
the web service iacts as a web-site on the server, so copy the whole folder structure (web.config file, app data, and appcode folders etc...), and make a web-site out of them in iis on the server<br />
after that you can create the web-reference you need in the other application<br />
ask if you need more specifics<br />

Thanks erez,<br />
<br />
That's what I thought. However.....it all works great on my design pc.....but not when I do the FTP upload. <br />
<br />
Using a web browser to look at my ASMX file, gets this error....<br />
Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationExc<wbr />eption: Request format is unrecognized.<br />
<br />
Using a web browser to look at my default.ASPX file, gets this error....<br />
Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type ABC.Test' is not defined.<br />
<br />
I am missing something....<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
open the asmx file in a web browser ON THE SERVER (in rdp, if you have access) so you'll see the actual error, or add some try-catch and save the exact error<br />
do you have access to the iis on the server? <br />
are you using a user-defined type? this caused me some trouble before,.. if so, try using a standard type instead, and &quot;directcast&quot; it to whatever you want on each end
</div>


<div>
it's on a shared server....no direct access by me.<br />
I can put a try-catch &amp;&nbsp;get the error
</div>


<div>
you do have the codefile.vb or cs file in appcode folder, right?<br />
could you send some code of your web service?
</div>


<div>
I started all over with just a plain test.<br />
test.asmx<br />
only has &quot;Hello World&quot;<br />
The VS05 project only shows a test1.asmx<br />
However, when I go to my FTP client, I see test1.asmx and test1.asmx.vb<br />
no bin folder in the project.<br />
Shouldn't I just have to upload the test1.asmx file?

Using VS2005 I created a web project, asmx &amp;&nbsp;default.aspx file.<br />
Works great on the design pc.<br />
Now I want to publish it to my public website, on an external server.<br />
<br />
If I do a straight VS05 publish, the code contains reference to the asmx file on my design pc.<br />
That is the wrong asmx file. It should be the asmx file on the external server.<br />
If I do an FTP copy of the asmx file, then try to add a &quot;Web Reference&quot; in my project, I get an error.....probably because the asmx file was just &quot;copied&quot; and not compiled.<br />
<br />
What steps do I need to take to get the project published?

How to publish ASMX to website server

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
