I have a classic ASP site that I am moving to SmarterASP.net<br />
<br />
All works well with this web app lest the web service (<a href="http://classnet-001-site1.smarterasp.net/vsl/service1.asmx" rel="ugc">http://classnet-001-site1.smarterasp.net/vsl/service1.asmx</a>).<br />
<br />
Although you can view the service in a browser, I get an error when trying to use it:<br />
<br />
Could not load file or assembly 'ADODB, Version=7.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxx<wbr />xxxx' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.<br />
<br />
It is running as a .NET 4.0 app on server 2012<br />
<br />
Any thoughts?

Web service on 2012

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

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2.

Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
