Web service & IIS
I have searched for few hours for how to host my WebService on IIS (5.0 or 6.0). I still didn`t succeded.
Could anyone help me and tell me exactly what I have to do to publish my WebService? I have made a virtual directory, but what I have to put in it? And what to type in web browser to see it?
Thank you very much in advance

All you really need to do is upload the ASMX and binaries to a virtual directory or a site on IIS.
this page gives you some step by step:

you can also try putting up a little test html page on the same virtual directory in order to test access. if you can hit the page but not your webservice then you know the IIS Site is set up properly but the Webservice may have a problem.
Also with IIS 6 you may need to enable web service extensions. Otherwise you may get a 404 error, check here:
