    Web Service Deployment Question

    Do I need to deploy both my ASMX page plus the DLL onto the web site? If so,
    can you please explain what role both of these deployment units play? To me
    they would seem to be mirror images of each other.

    Thanks for your help.

      Yes, you need to deploy both. Take a look at the contents of the asmx
      file, it should look something like this.

      <%@ WebService Language="vb" Codebehind="MyC lass.asmx.vb"
      Class="Namespac e.ClassName" %>

      When the client machine makes a request to your webservice, it
      references the URL of the asmx file. IIS is able to map the ".asmx"
      extension to aspnet_isapi.dl l. (Look at the application configuration
      settings in IIS to see this mapping). This is where the .NET runtime
      will kick in and will will recognize that your webservice uses the
      class Namespace.Class Name. It will invoke your DLL file which will run
      the code you wrote.

      That's why you need both.

          Hi Peter,

          Thanks for your response. OK, so that explains the MyService.asmx file
          (which is served by IIS, triggering the intercept by aspnet_isapi.dl l) and
          the DLL file MyServiceApp.dl l. Why is the deployment of the source code
          (MyService.asmx .vb) necessary?

          Thanks,

              It's not.

              The .vb file is compiled into the dll prior to your deployment. Only
              the .asmx and .dll files are required. You should never release the .vb
              files as that exposes a huge security vulnerability for your
              application.
