Hi, I have a problem that confounds me. We have made a decision to go with Visual Studio 2008. I have a webservice that was working fine in our dev environment under 2005. The webservice needs to be able to run on Windows 2000 servers and Windows 2003 so I made the decision to Target Framework version 2.0. I uninstalled the Webservice on our test server and installed the new one. The Test environment happens to be a Windows 2003 Server. I am now failing with Exception type: HttpParseException Exception message: Could not create type messages. Nothing has changed in the structure or the code. I simple converted the project to 2008 and recompiled... Any help would be greately appreciated. Regards, Jim

Did you create your projects using File->New Project, or File->New Web Site? Web Sites aren't projects, so they don't compile. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Saunders | MVP â Windows Server System â Connected System Developer
John, Thanks for the reply but I said nothing of Website. I have a webservice project that was created under visual studio 2005. ASP.Net Webservice application to be exact in case we are getting lost in semantics. I upgraded the project to Visual Studio 2008 and targeted the Framework to 2.0 since it needs to run on Windows 2000. There are no changes either code or directory structure. IIS is configured for a 2.0 application. And yes to your last question the code most certainly compiled prior to it being deployed. One thing is interesting I have an installer project that was also upgraded from VS 2005.. Maybe I will get rid of it and create a new Install project in VS2008.

I figured out what the issue was now I have to figure out why. The installer project (also originally created in 2005 and upgraded) created an additional bin directory which held the executable. The structure looked like this. WebServiceFolder | Bin | Bin Again, now changes were made to the application simply a rebuild after an upgrade.
