I am not sure I understand what you are asking.
If your webserver works fine, just use it?

If you are doing an ASP.NET project, right click the project and chooose "Add Web Reference." If you are using a forms/console app, right click the References folder and click "Add Web Reference." Then put in your URL.

That's how you add a web reference. Then you can instantiate your class and use the WebMethods.

What version of .NET are you using and what version of visual studio do you have? Also, what kind of project are you trying to use the web service with?

That's strange that a web application does not have the "add a web reference" option. I have it in vs2005. I don't think you can add a web reference to a web service though, maybe you have to make sure you're on the correct project for it to allow you to add the reference?
