Web Service - Publish Console Application as a Web Site

Ravi_Thakkar · 2009-01-23

Hi all experts,

In NAV Help Material for Web-Services, one example for printing the Customer List is developed using the Console Application.
So, is it possible to publish that Web Project as a Web Site rather than a *.exe file?

If yes then how?
Please, suggest.

Thanks in Advance.

You can't publish a console app as a web site (at least not that I know of). BUT, when you create a new C# project in Visual Studio, you can select ASP.NET Web Application as a template, and you can write code in there that consumes the NAV web service just like you would in a console app.

Hi, Denster,

Thanks for your reply.
I got your point. But, by doing that way, if I have published a web service 'CustomerCard' through Navsion and after adding the refference in asp.net web application I do not get the intellisence for 'CustomerCard_Service', while it can be seen in asp.net console application.

Please, suggest me.
Thanks in Advance.

That is an interesting issue. I've only worked with console apps so far, so I don't know if there is supposed to be a difference, but I have had problems with setting the wrong type of reference. Did you make sure it was a "web" reference in both projects?

DenSter is hitting the point here - it looks like you inserted a Service Reference and not a Web Reference.
Web Reference can be found under Advanced when adding a service Reference in VS2008.

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies.
My problem related to CustomerCard_Service has been solved.
Actually it was my mistake.

Actually I had 2 Services References.
1) System Service
2) CustomerCard

I just added this combination of both as a Service reference.
While I needed to add the reference seperately, one by one.
After doing so, it is showing me CustomerCard_Service in the intellisence.

Sorry, for my misunderstandings and thanks to you all.

Now, for publishing it as a Web Site, I will go in detail and then will revert back if any issue.
Thanks.

Hi, all

I created the demo web application successfully.
But, after publishing that web site, when I host it on our Intranet server, on trying to access it I am geeting error as shown in attached image.
While I have already added the user in NAV DB in Windows Logins.

Please, suggest me whether I need to do any task which I forgot or any suggestion?

Thanks in adv.
