Web Service error 'Could not create type' when calling service from Ajax

Question

Hi

I've downloaded the Ajax Control toolkit

When I create a website from the Ajax control Toolkit template, I can create a web service in a single file (asmx) and hook this up to different Ajax controls provided in the toolkit.

However if I add the Toolkit to an existing ASP.Net 2.0 appliction web project I cannot create web services in a single asmx file. If I create a web service VS always creates a code behind file as well. As a result of this calls to the web service (or loading the service directly in the browser) generate the following error:

Parser Error 
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not create type 'AddAjaxToApplication.List'.
Source Error: 

Line 1:  <%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="List.asmx.cs" Class="AddAjaxToApplication.List" %>

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Tim

Answer 1

I fixed this in the end.

In VS 2005 I just needed to right click on the web service and select "View Markup". I just changed the markup to use the correct namespace:

Line 1:  <%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="List.asmx.cs" Class="List" %>

I Just removed the project name from the namespace to match the namespace used by List.asmx and this error went away.

Thanks Tim
