Answer 1

You can set the defaultDocument Element in your web.config file so you won’t have to specify MachineService.asmx with each and every call.

<system.webServer>
  <defaultDocument>
    <files>
      <clear />
      <add value="MachineService.asmx" />
    </files>
  </defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>

Instead of manually modifying web.config you can configure the default document in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
