Configuring ASP.NET for a .NET Web Service project

IIS and ASP.NET You configure ASP.NET for .NET Web Service projects the same way you configure ASP.NET for .NET Web Forms projects. This includes making sure the Web server has a compatible version of IIS and the 2.0 version of ASP.NET is selected for your Web service components. .NET Web Service projects also use the same directory structure on the server as .NET Web Forms projects.

For information on installing IIS and setting the default version of ASP.NET, see “Configuring ASP.NET for a .NET Web project”. For information on the directory structure for deployed projects, see “Directory structure on the server”.

SQL Anywhere database connection If you set up a database connection for your Web service components, you configure the connection in the same way as for a Web Forms application. For information on configuring a SQL Anywhere database connection, see “Setting up a SQL Anywhere database connection”.

Global properties Most of the global properties for Web Forms applications that do not involve visual controls also apply to Web service components. The following global properties can be used by Web service projects: LogFolder, FileFolder, PrintFolder, PBWebFileProcessMode, PBCurrentDir, PBTempDir, PBLibDir, PBDenyDownloadFolders, PBCommandParm, PBTrace, PBTraceTarget, PBTraceFileName, PBMaxSession, PBEventLogID, and PBDeleteTempFileInterval.

For information on viewing and modifying global properties, see “Viewing and modifying global properties in IIS Manager”. For descriptions of the global properties, see “Global Web configuration properties”.
