Question

I am told that the configuration below is possible, but have had significant difficulty in finding instructions on how to set it up. While I’m trying to muddle my way through this on my own, maybe stack-overflow knows of better sources for documentation:

I am looking for a walkthrough, including a downloadable, working example, for setting up the following configuration:

Server-side .net application (For .net 2.0 or higher), installed/deployed as a windows’ service (that is, not served through IIS), and accessed by a client tool that is completely implemented in JavaScript.

Answer 1

You actually can host a ASMX webservice now without IIS, you can use the new HTTP protocol stack available called http.sys.
