If you want to run webservices etc. without IIS, or a compliant small scale
webserver like the one in vs.net then you will need to create a remoting
server, and http-listener or a soap server of sorts that listens for request
on the correct port and disseminates them.
For .NET 2.0 your best bet might be to examine the httplistener class which
sits on top of Http.sys, which creates a simple HTTP protocol listener
that responds to HTTP requests.

also, good example in this blog of its SOAP implementation

VS 2005 allows for web sites and services to be run without installing
IIS.
What if I want to create a SOA application for a non-internet connected
environment?
For example: I have a pc running a local, lightweight database. I want
my
pocket pc to be able to synch and run live off of the pc by interacting
with
a web service.
Let's just say that I can't install IIS. Plus, this allows me to develop
the same product for places that will have the traditional server-client
setup. Most of my consumers are stand alone pharmacies. Sometimes the
bigger ones have a better setup.
