Web Service method name is not valid

[Andy]

Hi,

I created a sample web service and tried calling it from my VBScript.

Here it is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
'-- Declare variables

dim fs

dim file

dim strPara

Const URL = "http://localhost/Sample/SampleService.a smx"

'-- Initialize variables

para = "Anand"

Set fs = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")

Set file = fs.OpenTextFile ("C:\Inetpub\ww wroot\Sample\ou tput\get.html", 8,
True)

' Create the HTTP object

Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("M icrosoft.XMLHTT P")

xmlhttp.open "GET", URL & "/HelloWorld?pstr Temp=" & strPara, false
' Send the request synchronously

xmlhttp.send ""

'-- Write output to file

file.write xmlhttp.respons eText

file.close()

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
But I get the output as:

System.InvalidO perationExcepti on: HelloWorld Web Service method name is not
valid. at System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. HttpServerProto col.Initialize( ) at
System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. ServerProtocolF actory.Create(T ype type,
HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean&
abortProcessing )

I have allowed httpget and httppost in my web.config of the sample web
service.
<webServices>

<protocols>

<add name="HttpGet"/>

<add name="HttpPost"/>

<add name="HttpPostL ocalhost"/>

<!-- Documentation enables the documentation/test pages -->

<add name="Documenta tion"/>

</protocols>

</webServices>

I also do not have my firewall enabled.

Any clue how to solve this?

Regards,
Anand

Hi,

I solved the problem.

Silly mistake, I had commented the [Web Method] before my method that
prevented its exposure. :~)
