My problem is with the inventory report web service described in Chapter 6.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008, but have configured the web service to build for .net 2.0.

When I browse the .asmx file from within the IDE using the Browse command, I get the page with all the available service interfaces as one would expect.

But when I try the same file from within IE, or when trying to add it within the IDE as a web service to the consuming project, the browser reports a reference to an uninstantiated object.

I've set the service's directory and its parent as applications within IIS. IIS assumes they're for .net 2.0.

I've followed the instructions in the book for building the service and the consuming application.

Any clues?

Thanks,



Elly
