I cannot get this working in VB.net 2005 , I can successful get these steps working in C#.
In vb.net i can get my web service running only if I do not separate my service.vb form app_code folder.
for some reason if I separate the service.vb form app_code folder and do exactly as the above article says i get a Type error.
Could not load type 'class1 from
assembly 'Create_Site_ECS, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12bef56a6427b4cc'
<%@ WebService Language="vb" Class="Class1, 'Create_Site, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12bef56a6427b4cc" %>
I think this is wired , did any one try this in VB.net , I converted the web service to c# , but I like VB.net more that C#.
HI - I resolved this issue with a VB.net service by prefixing the class name in the .asmx file with the assembly namespace, eg
<%@ WebService Language="vb" Class="Create_Site.Class1, 'Create_Site, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12bef56a6427b4cc" %>
HTH
Actually it isn't the assembly name, but the project default namespace. It just happened that it worked for you because the default namespace is the project name unless changed.
