WSS 3.0 Web Service, ASP.NET C# - Please help

Hello all,

I have been trying to find an answer on how to call the WSS 3.0 Web
Services from a .NET app I am trying to write and I just can't seem to
find one post that tells me what I exactly need to do. I have looked
in the SDK and it looks like there may be some good examples, but they
don't tell you what you need to do to get the environment setup.

I was trying to create a Web Reference in my ASP.NET envrionment and
point it to http://<machine>/_vti_bin/webs.asmx. It got an error to
the effect of couldn't find the DISCO file, the WSDL was wrong or
something along those lines. I took a look on the SharePoint box
found the Webs.asmx, not disco or wsdl files existed. I did see
webswsdl.aspx and websdisco.aspx. I'm not sure if I need to create
those files or if I need to configure something in WSS 3.0 or in
IIS.

Can someone please point me in the right direction of what I need to
do to get this to work? If I am off base, then please point me to
something I can read so I can get this set up.

Thanks,
Greg

The experts on SP Programming (and thus on writing code that accesses
web services) have their own newsgroup at

microsoft.public.sharepoint.development_and_programming

which is for all SP products and versions

Post there (instead) and get the benefit of their expertise and existing
programming threads.
