Hi!
I wrote a simple web service that has four web methods in it. This web
service is designed to run on four different machines. There is a central
asp.net application which consumes the web services running on four
different machines. I want to run these web service methods by using
interfaces only.
I wrote an interface, and implemented the methods of interface in my web
service class, but when I cast the web service to the interface I receive an
invalid cast exception. Isn't it possible to use web services with
interfaces?

Any advices?

Thanks...

Ok, I've found an article which describes the process:
