Webservice deployment

[Thibaut]

The solution is perharps very simple but I don't get it.
I build a WebService with .net2 and vs2005 professional to enable the
communication between a flex application and a database. the whole thing is
working fine when i work localy. means when i start the webservice from
visual studio and the flex application from the "Flex builder" which refers
to the internet adress given in the internet explorer + ?WSDL

The hard part is now that i am almost finished and i wanted to put a first
beta version on my hosting server.

When i select the menu "Publish web site" vs create almost everything but
the amsx file looks like this

"<%@ WebService Language="VB" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/ELearningWebService.vb"
Class="ELearningWebService" %> "

Which is ok from "development mode" but doesn't look so efficient for a
production file.

this is the result of the publish operation

ELearningWebService.asmx
Web.Config
Config
App_Code.dll
ELearning.Core.dll

the ELearning.Core.dll is the library layer that create the sql queries
which are called from the webservice.

Does anyone know how to configure the project or at least to "modify" the
amsx file on the server to make the whole thing works!

Thanks in advance

Best regards,
Thibaut

I'm sorry, what is the exact problem you're having?

My problem is that I don't make it to deploy my webservice to my production
server. When i start the webservice from Visual studio I get a well formed
asmx file and i can "talk" to my webservice from my client application. When
i publish the project and put it on my server. I get a blank web page. I
think it's coming from the asmx file, because a reference is missing, better
said i don't understand the definition of the published asmx file

<%@ WebService Language="VB" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/ELearningWebService.vb"
Class="ELearningWebService" %>

How can I change the definition to make it "talk" to the App_Code.dll where
you can find the whole code behind

You get a blank web page when you navigate to the .asmx with a browser? What
happens when you try to access the .asmx file from your client application?

I beleieve it is the setting here.
Did you set the page and the web app at the production IIS? Ans, is the
security setting correct on that folder?

The blank page may be his production IIS 's error page.
