Whats the difference between asp.net app and webservice app?

[MrNorth]

We are having some arguments here at work, about the difference in the excuting environment of webservices and asp.net apps. My point is that both these are being executed by aspnet worker process and the difference is how the data is transmitted to the client... HTML-XML-SOAP..


can anyone enlighten *us* about the techhnical differences (except that they inherit from different classes)...


kind regards
Henrik

Both use the aspnet engine. All Web Services are are a special isapi handler for the call to asmx files, just like the isapi handler for aspx files. That's really it from my understanding.
