A little push with Web Services.

[Anonymous]

I would like to exercise the article "Your first C# Web Service", By Chris Maunder. I am using XP and I have IIS turned on. When I try to create a Web Service via the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003 I get the error. ‘Visual Studio cannot create or open the application because the Web server on this computer is not running. Start the Web Server before proceeding.’ The directions under the help button direct me to ‘On the Web server computer, open Control Panel and then choose Internet Services Manager.’ I do not have an option labeled ‘Internet Services Manager’. I have downloaded the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 plus its patches. Does creating a Web Service require me to run Windows 2003 Server or something like that? Thanks

Look under Administrative Tools in Control Panel, or just open a command prompt and type: net start w3svc Good luck.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' ('I found it!') but 'That's funny...’

Thank you. This command results in a system error 1717. I did attempt all the suggestions in the MSDN Help. I think I am missing a Windows Component, but I am not sure what or how to get it. thanks

If this ain't too late.. goto add remove components in control panel and install IIS.. then ul find it in Admin tools in control panel:)
