hello all,
I am trying to make a web service for the first time using VB.Net
when i make a new project , the wizard asks me where to save the web services file.
by default : it writes: //localhost:/webservice1
when i try to save it to a usuall folder, it doesnt accept
so can anyone tell me what is meant by localhost & how can i save this webserive to work
thank you very much.
The web service is hosted by IIS, so you need to specify the url. The files are actually put in your inetpub/wwwroot folder directory.
Any Suggested Solution ?????
localhost means that it will try and use your computer as the host and for testing. You should have had IIS installed on your machine prior to installing Visual Studio. Just make sure that IIS is running on your current machine and go ahead and use it.
thx a lot of your clear answer, i will give it a try
