Hi Alexander,
Wow. Wow. Holy wow.
I wish I'd known eaarlier that you were not talking about ASP.net web
services - we could have saved a lot of time.
Since you have developed your own web server and your own web service
stack, there is very little you can gain, in my opinion, from reading about
how IIS hosted web services function and are controlled. Unless you
duplicated exactly the functionality and design/configuration of ASP.net,
nothing I can tell you about how to do something with the Microsoft ASP.net
implementation would apply to your own private code base.
The best I can tell you is to look at your code, your own designs, and then
see if you have provided the kind of control you desire. I can't comment
on your implementation, or on the cassini example.
I wish you luck,
Dan Rogers

Ok.
I've develop project for PDA terminals. There're two components - server
(PC) and PDA-client(s).
My project is a part of another commertial solution and used as
internet/intranet solution. But it is not Internet application.
The one of common goals of my project sounds like this:
(!)Server part must be as a black box ("pandora box") - it must be prevent
for any changes and customisations 'cause
it planned to use as a commertial platform for another terminal clients
development(!).
Compact framework supports only two ways for data exchange between client
and server (as i know) - one is Messaging (using SOAP/XML messages exchange
over HTTP or TCP). The second is webservices. I've choose second 'cause it
is a simply to use, development, flexible and simply for any enhancements.
The first one is hardly scalable and flexible because i must to declare any
SOAP/XML request and response (messages) for client and server.
I'd choose WebService technology for my solution.
But i have one problem - i must not use IIS server (it concerned with
services of another solution parts - i cann't change its logic) .
And i've develop my own web server for hosting own WebServices (i've seen
Cassini Web server sample).
And now i have two problems that i want to solve:
1.My WebService and Web Server use the same assemblies (for example,
core.dll, common.dll etc.) and i have to place its to BIN folder(for
websercvices) and ROOT (for webServer and HTTP handler like asmx-file ) - it
is not good idea, imho.
2. Because this solution is for commertial use, i need to prevent it for any
cases of customisations( hacking, unlicense usage, etc.). The common way is
to prevent any customisations in asmx-files because these files is TEXT
files and its use inside description of codebehind assemblies. Some"bad man"
(hacker, employee, etc.) can write own webservice as mine and path it in
asmx-file instead mine assemply. In this case he takes access to any
information that PDA exchanges to Server - it can be security info like
credit cards info or some private information.
To solving these problems i found in MSDN that i can configure my web
service using .config file.
For one i must use <codebase> or <probing> tags in my .config file.
For second i must create my own IHTTPHandler-class instead asmx-file and
describe it as handler in .config file using <<httpHandlers> tag.
But .config file is also TEXT file and it can be customised by somebody also
(like asmx file) =((
And i have two questions:
1. How can i configure my ASP.NET applications without .config file - only
using some class or object? Maybe i may to secure .config file or place it
into some dll-resources?
2. How can i change default place for my WebServices (BIN-folder)? (It is
not primary goal but i'd describe above why i don't want to divide
WebServer, HTTP-handlers and WebServices dll-files to different folders)
And how can i secure my ASP.NET solution for any LOCAL customisations (any
text file like .config and asmx files)?
May anybody answer me how?
Alexander.

Hi Alexander,
Could you be clearer about what the problem is? Why is the Bin directory
something you don't like? And what text file is it that you think there
is an issue for? What is that issue?
Dan

I'm trying to use webservice business logic only in binary file (dll ) and
asmx-file using for it is not good idea.

news:OC*************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... Hi Topper:
ASMX file has definition(assembly name) of my WebService object for
ASP.NET.
ASP.NET searching my WebService assembly in bin folder (by default it
defined in machine.config file)
But if i place my WebService dll not in bin folder ASP.NET cann't
found it and error occured.
If you use Visual Studio .NET, it breaks your web service into two
parts, a .ASMX file and a .ASMX.CS file. The .ASMX.CS file is referenced by the
CODEBEHIND attribute in the .ASMX file. Now when you compile your
project, the .ASMX.CS (codebehind) is compiled to a .DLL and placed in your BIN
folder under your VROOT. When the ASP.NET runtime is serving an .ASMX
file (reference in the URL), it sees the INHERITS attribute and compiles a
temporary class by inheriting the codebehind class from the DLL. So,
/BIN is just the default probing path to lookup assemblies. And since you don't
want to configure alternative probing paths in web.config, you problem can be
solved by not using a codebehind at all. Put all your code in .ASMX and
be done with!
