The Web Services template isn’t in the .NET 4.0 projects list–only .NET 3.5, but my service needs to depend on a .NET 4.0 assembly with my model/database functions. That assembly depends on 4.0, because of the data provider required (dotConnect for MySQL)
The web service will need a reference to this business logic assembly so it can pass its arguments to said assembly and blindly return. But, can I run the web services project in a .NET 4.0 application pool without any problems with the data provider?
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional, not Ultimate (which I’ve read has the template)–is there any way around this?
In 4.0 you have the WCF framework. Try this one.
