Question deployment?

[raysefo]

Hello,

I m new to VB.NET. I m using VS.NET 2010. I would like to if there is a app. server that we can deploy our web service and consume this web service via client on the same machine?

I m using Windows XP.

Best Regards.

To make it clear, let me put it this way. I develop a web service. I view it in the browser. Now, if i want to consume it with a client, i need to open up another VS.NET 2010 and write down my client code. What i want to know is, if there is a possible way to deploy this service (like in Java) and there is no need to open another VS.Net 2010 to write client code.

i publish this web service on local machine and write client. I add web reference and choose from local. It finds the service but gives "server application unavailable" error!

Using the Visual Studio Built-in Web Server from the Command Line - Using VS - Microsoft DevSource
For VS 2010 I found it was using WebDev.WebServer40.EXE in folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\DevServer\10.0.

You can also have one web service project and one client project in same solution, to develop and debug both at the same time.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply but i have a problem using WebDev.WebServer40. When i publish webservice and then run Start /B WebDev.WebServer40 /port:7171 Path:"C:\Documents and Settings\abc\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\WebService1" . But i get an error while try to run in browser .It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Weird that you get an IIS error and running IIS tools, since WebDev.WebServer is not at all related to IIS. I think your VS is configured to publish to local IIS and doesn't use the lightweight WebDev debugging server by default. You can probably use either.
