Prob. adding a web reference

[Bob S.]

I have started going through the Visual Studio "walkthroughs" book and after
a number of attempts to get it to work, I keep getting stuck at the same
point.

I am running Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1)
Visual Studio 2003 EA (C#)
IIS 5.1
SQL Server Desktop Engine

Brief description:

1) I have created a web service which has two methods. One queries the pubs
database, and the second does updates.

2) A Windows client will call the two methods in the web service to retrieve
records and update records.

In Solution Explorer, after building the web service successfully, I add a
new project to the solution for the Windows client. At this point, my web
service project disappears from Solution Explorer. I continue through the
steps for the Windows client. I right-click on the project name in Solution
Explorer and select Add Web Reference. I choose "browse the local host".
After the browsing stops, I get the following error message:

// Error Message

There was an error downloading
'http://localhost/Authors22WebService/Authors22WebService.asmx'.

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a
receive.

// End Error Message

Thanks,
Bob S.

May be the problem with IIS Also. Check a asp.NET pages are running . if not
running install the asp.net using
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe . Still is not
working you may need to reinstall the IIS and rerun the aspnet_regiis again.
This file will be present in the installed version folder.
