Will 2.0 allow a webservice without VS2005 or IIS

[Guest]

VS 2005 allows for web sites and services to be run without installing IIS.
What if I want to create a SOA application for a non-internet connected
environment?

For example: I have a pc running a local, lightweight database. I want my
pocket pc to be able to synch and run live off of the pc by interacting with
a web service.

Let's just say that I can't install IIS. Plus, this allows me to develop
the same product for places that will have the traditional server-client
setup. Most of my consumers are stand alone pharmacies. Sometimes the
bigger ones have a better setup.

If you want to run webservices etc. without IIS, or a compliant small scale
webserver like the one in vs.net then you will need to create a remoting
server, and http-listener or a soap server of sorts that listens for request
on the correct port and disseminates them.

For .NET 2.0 your best bet might be to examine the httplistener class which
sits on top of Http.sys, which creates a simple HTTP protocol listener
that responds to HTTP requests.

also, good example in this blog of its SOAP implementation

What about the Microsoft Web Service Enhancements 3.0? It sounds like
that would allow him to host the web services w/o IIS.
