Web Service

[Guest]

I am learning about Web Services, so I am following the instructions in HOW
TO: Write a Simple Web Service by Using Visual C# .NET on the MSDN site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308359/

I have entered the code but when I build it, I get an error about a file
that Visual Studio added called 'global.asax. This is the error:
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MathsService\MathsService\Global.asax: ASP.NET runtime
error: There is no build provider registered for the extension '.asax'. You
can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in
machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a
BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or
'All'.

The Help on buildProviders isn't clear and everything I have tried fails to
sort out the problem.

What do I do to get rid of the error message?
Why does Visual Studio include the file but not the instructions to run it?

Thanks for your help,
Helen

Which version of Visual Studio are you using - 2003 or 2005?

Thanks. I have found out what the problem was. I need to be running .NET
2.0 on the Default Web Site.

It seems to work now.
