Using C# in VS 2005 Pro.

Background:

1.  There are 3 of us working on a software project.  The project will have
at least 5 separate web services, in addition to web and desktop clients.

2.  We are using Subversion for version control.  Therefore "flat
directories" are desirable, versus VS's propensity to throw Solutions in a
completely different folder structure than the web service source code.

3.  The previous release of the software was Windows Desktop only.  We used
C# in VS 2003.  I was looking for an excuse to move to VS 2005 for the next
release, and IIS and Virtual Directories were up to the task.  I spent many
hours messing with permissions etc. but I could never keep working for more
than 5 to 10 minutes before Internet Explorer and/or FireFox would wait
forever for /localhost/... to return anything.  I'd reboot and get another 5
to 10 minutes of work before IIS no longer played well with my code.

4.  However, in VS 2003 it was a piece of cake to move the web service to a
web host.  /localhost/... was impossible but e.g.
www.markjerde.com/zzztest/Webservice1/Service1.asmx was a piece of cake.
(Fake URL ;-)

5.  In VS 2005 working locally is easy, but so far I have not been able to
get a single "Hello World" web service working on any .NET 2.0 web server.

I'm no doubt missing something simple, but I've looked through MSDN, a
couple .NET 2.0 books, and googled extensively.  Frustration is mounting....
;-)

I have messed around with "Blank Solution" and can successfully create a
project with the .sln in the same folder as the .asmx file.  It works when I
test it on my development computer.   How can I publish this to a web
server?

Thanks.

Before you get too much further you might want to have a look at the Web
Application Project add-in for VS2005 [1].  In VS2005 web services and web
sites are handled through the Web Developer functionality of Visual Studio.  
This, while value-added, is essentially a view of an external web site.  This
means it doesn't support version control, and gets a bit hairy if you're
planning on deploying as part of another deployment or part of an automated
build.

The Web Application Project add-in restores the VS2003-like functionality of
a "web project" (the Web Developer projects are really part of the solution,
not the project.)

Peter -- Good information.  Thanks.

(Please have a look at my soon-to-be-posted laptop configuration problem
too... <g> )
