how to compile web service using command line

[mei xiao]

Hi, there,

I have a small web service project written in C# and compiled using visual
studio.net, but how can I compile it using command line?
Thank you.

Compiling code behind is just compiling all the cs files. The tricky part
is to remember to include all the references to other assemblies that are
required to compile your file. For example, to compile web services, you
will need to include the reference to System.Web.Services.dll which is by
default located in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322. You may
need other references too. Just take a look at your VS.NET project
References to see which assemblies your project requires.

It's the same process as when You compile any type of c# project. You can find more info on this at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ommandline.asp

If You also plan to deploy Your web service manually (without relying on VS), You should:
a) Create an asp.net virtual directory
b) Create a bin-directory for your web service dll
c) Create an asmx-file that references your dll

The asmx-file only have to contain this:
<%@ WebService class="MyWebServiceClassName" %>

Of course You can decide to write the whole web service in the asmx-file. But then You don't need to
do any compilation.
