Web Service in .NET framework 4

Question

Can we write simple Web Service (NOT WCF SERVICE) in .NET framework 4 ?

Answer 1

yes.

in VS it is a little hidden - you need to create an asp.net web application project and then add a "web service" new item.

Answer 2

Do you really want to do that? A simple WCF service is just as simple as a simple ASMX service.

WCF is Web Services. They are not two separate things.
Use WCF for All New Web Service Development, instead of legacy ASMX or obsolete WSE
Use File->New Project to create Web Service Projects

Answer 3

Hi John,

I need a service that can expose GET and POST methods so that i can consume them over http.

 

Can this be done with WCF.

Answer 4

WCF can do everything that ASMX can do, and about 20 times more.

Yes, you can use [WebGet] and [WebInvoke(Method="POST")].
