Simple question about using a web service

[Geoff]

My apologies for asking something so basic, I just want to avoid unpleasant
surprises. I am using a web service developed by someone else on a remote
server. In my development environment I used Visual Studio to create a Web
Reference. I have successfully connected to and used the web service.

Here's the question. When I migrate the application to the production
server, is there anything special I need to do? Or do I just copy the Web
References directory created by Visual Studio, along with the files it
contains (Reference.map, Reference.vb, plus the .disco and .wsdl files) to
the production server?

Much obliged,
Geoff.

You dont need any of that. That is all source files.

None. Just copy your binary file in the bin\Release dir.

I should have mentioned that this is a Web Forms (i.e. ASP.Net) project, not
a Windows Forms, so there is no Release directory. But there is a dll
directly under the bin directory. So, is your answer essentially the same,
just copy the dll file in the bin directory (as opposed to the exe file in
the bin\Release directory)?

Yes. You do need the web.config as well, and *.asmx

Sorry - Ignore kind of my last reply. I remember now you were asking about a
CLIENT initially, but this last mesasge you refer to the server? Thats why I
said bin/release.

You have an ASP.NET webforms client that uses a webservice? If thats the
case, you deploy everything you normally deploy for ASP.NET webforms, ie
*.aspx, the bin dir, global.asax and web.config.

You do not need anything extra to use the webservice, all of the code is
compiled into the binary.
