Error while creating a web service - Could not create type 'Service'.

[SwapnilD]

I'm creating a webservice in vb.net version 2.0 on my local machine, deploying it to v1.1 on development server and getting an error "Could not create type 'Service'." Below is the code snippet that I wrote to create a web service

- Service.asmx file

<%@ WebService Language="vb" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/Service.vb" Class="Service"%>
 

- Service.vb file in "App_Code" folder

WebService(Namespace:="http://www.abc.com/Service")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Public Class Service
    Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService : Implements IHttpHandler
 
    <WebMethod()> _
   Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
        Dim files As HttpFileCollection = context.Request.Files
        Dim parameters As NameValueCollection = context.Request.Params
        Dim UserKey = parameters("userKey")
        Dim message = parameters("message")
        Dim listenToLink = parameters("listen")
        Dim CreateDate = parameters("CreationDate")
 
    End Sub
    Public ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.IsReusable
        Get
            Return True
        End Get
    End Property
End Class
 

While deploying this web service to the online development server I copied the App_Code(along with Service.vb file) file to the root directory of source code and copied Service.asmx file to the root directory and tried to run the web service in a below mentioned way (URL is just for example it is not actual URL of my site)

http://www.abc.com/service.asmx

after executing the above mentioned URL I'm getting errror

Parser Error Message: Could not create type 'Service'.
 
Source Error: 
 
 
Line 1:  <%@ WebService Language="vb" 
CodeBehind="~/App_Code/Service.vb" Class="Service"%>
 

.

Please note that, I CANT CHANGE ASP.NET Version from 1.1 to 2.0.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Please review and provide good solution.

Thanks in advance

You can specify which framework to target in your BUILD using Visual Studio though :)
