IIS required for managed C++ web service.
-
First off I'm absolutely new to the .NET environment all together. I recently bought Visual Studio .NET academic. I wrote a small web service in managed C++ but it keeps telling me that I must have IIS installed to run the service. Is there any other way to test this without running IIS? It's not that big a deal I'm just playing around with .NET at home. Just curious. nay

You can definitely consume a web service without IIS, as to providing a web service I beleive they provide xml/soap messages via http, that is why they are so popular, distributed over a common protocol like http. So you are probably going to need a http server, it doesn't necessarily have to be IIS, I don't think.
