Still confused..
Tried this on two XP machines now and same thing!

It's not the prompting to save...
It's IE or IIS that has the problem it seems the browser does not knoww what to do with the asmx file. In examples I've seen it should open a status page where you can click on the methods to invoke but instead IE just asks me where I want to save the file (as if I'm downloading a strange unrecongnized file type)...

Keep in mind this is the default web service project (new - project - asp web service, comment out the hello world method)

The asmx is set to the start file and I tried to configure the debugging too.

I also tried to invoke it from VFP 7...

ows=crea("mssoap.soapclient")
ows.mssoapinit("http://localhost/WebService2/Service1.asmx?wsdl")

Gives error:
OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from client
WSDLReader:Loading of the WSDL file failed
hRESULT=0x800700057 - WSDLReader:XML parser failed at linepostion 0, linenumber 0, reason is: The download of the specified resource has failed.

I installed .NET first then realized I need IIS components so went into XP setup and added them. then I reran .NET setup and added the Web Services stuff.

Maybe I forgot something...

I also went into IIS setting and ASMX is not recognized as a type
control panel | iis config || default eb site||properties||Home directory||
application settings||configuration..

(maybe I need to bind the .asmx file to an .exe but I dodn't know which one!
But seems like this should've been ddone for me!)

tried looking at every thing in the documentation but it still can't figure it out


Any one know what could be wrong!
