Web Services without ASP.NET

[Etienne Fortin]

Hi there,
I'm just starting to look at web services. I was wondering, is there a way
with the .NET Framework to create a Web Service provider without relying on
ASP.NET? I would want my .NET Remoting object to be accessible via Web
Service but WITHOUT going through ASP.NET and installing a web server. Is
that possible?

I may be wrong, but I believe there was a utility in an old Visual Studio
versions that allowed the exposition of COM components as Web Service without
too much work. Isn't there something similar for .NET?

Etienne, you can look at WSE 2.0 or 3.0 which contains a TCP transport
channel : with this transport channel, you don't need IIS. Beware though that
it's a Microsoft only channel as far as I know (no Java implementation for
the soap.tcp:// protocol). There is also a functionality in COM+ that is
available from System.Enterpri seServices, but since I never used it, I don't
know how it works.

François

sure - you can use ATL for creating WS (Web Service) on .NET.
