WCF Web service, 2 or more web application projects and some databases

Can you have a WCF web service manage users in the membership providers? For
example, if you were to use a standard login control on a page, it goes
directly to the provider to sign in the user. Can I have a web service do
this instead? If so, how do you do it?

I assume by WCF Web service you mean WCF Service? I don't see a problem in
this. Essentially, if your membership store is not on the web server, it
would make sense to use a web service for this. A WCF service is overkill
though unless the authentication is bundled with more business services.

The membership is required to make any of the services provided to the web
applications to work. If membership doesn't work, none of it does.

Now I want to test this service on a Windows Server 2003 box that doesn't have the Visual Studio Command prompt. How do I go about installing the service on the Windows Server 2003 box? Thanks!

Hi, I have a service, that runs perfectly when executed outside of the web service environment. When called as a web service I get the exception listed below sporadically.

OK, I'll admit it up front - I just don't get it. Here's our previous VS2003 development model. Developers develop the WS solution on their own workstations, using their own IIS web servers mapped to the local devleopment folder. Project compiles to a subfolder .\bin. To deploy, the asmx page and bin subfolder are copied to the production server. So now I upgrade to VS2005. OK, so except for the name, everything is changed. No more...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
