Thread-safe Code

[Erik J Sawyer]

I am considering using web services as an alternative to
DCOM/COM+ components for middle-tier logic. I have
developed COM+ components in the past, using VB6, but
they were obviously STA, so threading was a minimal
concern.

My question is, how concerned should I be with making my
code thread-safe when using a VB or C# web service? Will
ASP.Net automatically serialize calls so that each
instance will ignore the others? I am not maintaining
any component state between calls, and the web service
component itself is fairly simple and single-threaded.

Thanks,
