soap service in stanalone app

[Rob Frohwein]

Hi,

In an C# appl I need a soap service to be called by other (unix systems)
In Visual Studio .NET it seems only possible to create a soap
service as an .asmx file to be used in IIS.

Does anybody know how to create a soap service to be run in a
application (thread) ? (thus *without* IIS)

thanks

Rob,

Have you looked into the Windows Communication Foundation, which is
available as a public CTP (Community Tech Preview)?

This will allow you to host a soap service in your own app.

Also, I believe that the Web Server Extensions 3.0 allow you to host web
services in a stand alone app (with the http.sys driver, I believe).

Hope this helps.
