XML Web Services Walkthrough

[Amrit Kohli]

I am trying to get through the XML Web Services Walkthrough at this location:

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

Everything seems to work fine. Here’s the code from Service1.asmx.cs :

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;

namespace TempConvert1
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Service1.
/// </summary>

[System.Web.Services.WebService(Namespace="http://Walkthrough/XmlWebServices/",
Description="A temperature conversion service.")]

public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
public Service1()
{
//CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web
Services Designer
InitializeComponent();
}

#region Component Designer generated code
//Required by the Web Services Designer

private IContainer components = null;

/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>

private void InitializeComponent()
{
}

/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>

protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if(disposing && components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}

#endregion

// WEB SERVICE EXAMPLE
// The HelloWorld() example service returns the string Hello World
// To build, uncomment the following lines then save and build
the project
// To test this web service, press F5

[WebMethod(Description="This method converts a temperature in " +
"degrees Fahrenheit to a temperature in degrees Celsius.")]
public double ConvertTemperature(double dFahrenheit)
{
return ((dFahrenheit - 32) * 5) / 9;
}
}
}

It’s a simple application that allows you to enter a value in degrees
Fahrenheit and it converts the value to Celsius.

Well, when I run it, it opens an IE window with the function
“ConvertTemperature� as a link. I click on the link and it goes to another
page where it gives me a box with an “Invoke� button that allows me to enter
a value for the dFahrenheit value. But when I press “Invoke�, another IE
Window pops up and it gives me the HTTP “Page not found� error. The http
address this window uses looks like this:

http://amrit/TempConvert1/Service1.a...ertTemperature

where “amrit� is the server name, TempConvert1 is the name of the solution,
and Service1.asmx is the code file. There is no file “ConvertTemperature�
under Service1.asmx, which is probably why it’s giving me a Page Not Found
error. I assume that it should be calling the ConvertTemperature function
instead of trying to display the page itself, but I could be wrong.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks so much if you can help me. I appreciate it.
