Hi! Is there a way to expose all the methods in a .net dll written i
C# as a web service without having to do it method by method but just
as a transparent layer?

AFAIK each method must be marked as a web method and the class itself must
be marked as a web service.

Not easily ...

You could host the DLL as a .NET remoting service? In which case it would
mostly be configuration rather than coding?

To add to what the others said. If you've got the source code you could
always use a text editor like UltraEdit to manually add the [WebMethod]
attribute all at once. It will at least save you the need to do it
manually.
