simple web service test?

[Andy]

Hi,

below is simple webservice wich I'd like to test in my local host and when I
put http://localhost/test.asmx I'm getting this error:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://localhost/test.asmx
Line Number 1, Column 1:

Can somebody help me why? What I'm missing?

below is sample web setvice code:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" Class="MathService" %>

using System;

using System.Web.Services;

[WebService(Namespace="Microsoft.Samples.XmlMessaging.WebServices")]

public class MathService {

[WebMethod]

public float Add(float a, float b)

{

return a + b;

}


}

The code as posted works fine for me. Is there any more information in
the error message? I'm wondering if this relates more to configuration
(perhaps web.config or the web-server setup) than code.

What web-server are you using to host this; IIS? You might also want
to verify that it is configured as an application, and is running the
correct version of ASP.NET.

I'll repeat what Marc said: "is there more information in the error
message"?
The fact that there was some error is not enough to diagnose the
problem. Usually the error message gives some hints about the problem
and sometimes even how to fix it.

See if the complete error message rings a bell. If not, post the
complete error message (minus irrelevant private stuff, maybe).

And check the event-log. That is the default dumping-ground when it
panics.

OK, when I try to start default website I'm getting this error in the event
viewer: source W3SVC

The service could not bind instance 1. The data is the error code.

I guess because my defalt website is not running I cannot run local host?
On IE I'm getting page not found on localhost. Could SQL Server messed up
something?


thanks
