Setting up WebServices in ASP.NET prob - Help appreciated

Screeper · Post by **Screeper** » 20 Apr 2006, 18:35

Hi guys,

i'm trying to set up my webservices for my final programming project (using asp.net and vb.net).

No problem at college in setting up them but on my home pc i'm getting the following error which may as well have been written in ancient arabic.
Can anyone point me in a direction that may help me cure this error?

Any help would really be appreciated as i'm stuck

I'm using this command -
wsdl /language:VB http://localhost/WebDir/WebServices.asmx?WSDL

- where WebDir is my virtual directory and WebServices is the name of my web service file.

Open IIS, right-click on Default Web Site and select Properties. Click on the Home Directory tab, and then on Configuration.

See if you can find the 'asmx' extension in the listview.

Have you fully installed asp.net? Once you've got the .NET sdk installed you should run aspnet_regiis.exe from C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 (<-whatever version youve got installed) That will setup all file types with IIS. If you want to run multiple versions of asp.net you can set it so only certain virtual directories are taken over to 2.0 leaving the rest in 1.1
