I'm knew to web services (web programming, for that matter). I used VS2008
to create a project of type "asp.net web service". I added a simple method
and it compiles just fine. I then added to that solution an .exe as a test
client. I added a service reference to this .exe that represents my simple
web service and it all runs just fine. But in order for the world to use
this web service, I need to deploy it to IIS. I use deploy from VS2008 and
it copies all my files nicely to IIS. Everything looks good. But when I go
to browse to http://localhost/MyTestService/Service1.asmx, the browser says
it can't find the file.

Check the web directory in the IIS Manager tool (Admin Tools) and make sure
it is marked as a web application, not just a virtual directory. That is
where I would attack first.

How do I specify this in IIS Manager?
