I am using VFP8 to create a simple web server.

If I create a virtual directory in IIS and create my VFP project in this same directory with the below code and compile as a multi-threaded DLL and then publish my web service through Task Pane, everthing works:

DEFINE CLASS ctestcom1 AS Session OLEPUBLIC
***************************************************
PROCEDURE p_Proc1
***************************************************
RETURN [Hello World]
ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE


But if I create my VFP project in a different directory that is not an IIS virtual directory and try to publish this as a webservice, I get errors when I test the web service through Task Pane - Explore an XML Web Service.

The only difference is that 1 VFP project sits in the virtual directory and the other doesn't.

I have tried copying the .dll, .tlb and .vbr to the virtual directory and publish those files from the Task pane, but that doesn't help.

What's the best way to publish a VFP web service with out having all the source code and project files in the virtual directory?

Thanks,

Jerry
