Error Publishing and Running a WebService on the IIS Web Server

I dun know if any1 ever face this same Problem as me when publishing and
running a WebService from the IIS Server

I created a simple VB.NET Web Services
The WebServices run well from the Visual Studio
The WebService can also consumed without error from another VB.Net applications

However, when I deployed and published it to run on the IIS Web Server as follows :-
 C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ProductWS\ProdService.asmx
and run the WebService on browser from the IIS Server
(http://localhost/ProductWS/ProdService.asmx), it return the following errors:-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The XML page cannot be displayed
 Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then  click the Refresh button, or try again later.

 <%@ WebService Language="VB" Class="ProdService" %>

Any1 encountered such problem and know the solution? pls advise me.

Thanks.

Is the .NET Framework (v1 or v2 for your case) even installed on the server, and IIS configured to operate ASP.NET?

hi thanks... i just realized for ur hint... I am using the wrong version of ASP.NET in my IIS server..

The Web Service was created with ASP.NET version 2.xxxx, but the IIS Server is still referencing to ASP.NET version 1.xxxx....

 

I fixed it and it works..

Thanks. :>
