web service in a website

[rotsey]

Hi,

 

Can anyone give me some help with this issue?

 

I have a ASP.NET web site with an access database.

 

I want to be able to remotely add data to the website from a windows form application.

I thought of creating a web service that I pass a dataset to which then updates the DB.

 

Do all I need to do to get the web site and web service working is to copy the web srvice assembly to the web site bin folder and copy the asmx files to the root folder.

 

I am obviously a novice at this.

 

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Yes, that will work

You could create the webservice files as part of the web application itself - there is no need to create a separate project if there are no immediate benefits from doing so.

Thanks guys.

 

So I just choose "Add Web Service" in VS.NET in the web project and away I go??
