Having problems with unit testing a web service

[Rafferty Uy]

Hi, I can't get my unit test to work. Here is the error I'm getting (I'm using NUnit)

System.Net.WebException: The request failed with the error message:

Object moved

Object moved to here.

--.

What could be wrong? Here is an idea of how my current environment: - I created a web application in the localhost IIS (a virtual directory) - under this web app, there is a \WebServices folder containing MyWebService.asmx - In a different solution (also a different directory), I created a Class Library project with a Web Reference to MyWebService.asmx - I tried testing a simple Hello World method (code below) and I'm getting the above error. In MyWebService.asmx

[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld() { return "Hello World!"; }

In MyWebServiceTest.cs

[Test]
public void HelloWorldTest() {
var svc = new MyWebService();
var str = svc.HelloWorld();
Assert.That(str, Is.EqualTo("Hello World!"));
}

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for replying. Yes my web services are running... I just found out that it's not really a unit test issue but a general web-referencing issue. What I mean is, if I open the web service through my internet browser and invoke the methods, the methods will execute. However, if I create a simple .net project and add a web reference, I get the error stated above. Any idea why? Thanks.
