Problem publishing a method in Web Services

Problem: Customer is encountering a problem in publishing a method in Web Services.  He's following the tutorial - compiles the Hello Word program, asteriscs it etc.  When he comes to creating the client part adding the Web Service part he says that the Hello World method is not published and he cannot see it. Resolution: This problem may actually occur with any service that is selected from the Add Web Reference wizard. This simply means that the file name extension (.asmx) was not mapped to any program or interpreter that processes that type file. Here are the steps to map that file name extenstion to the program or interpreter: 1. Find out if there are different versions of the MS .NET Framework installed on the machine 2. Determine which one (if there are more than one version) is the latest version by looking at the directory name (e.g. C:\\[Windows directory]\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.1.4322 is more recent than C:\\[Win

OLESUP method adviseEvents gets error 243 - class could not be loaded

Problem: Description: OLESUP method "adviseEvents" gets error 243 - class could not be loaded The class olesup cannot load the event handling class because the case of the event handling class name does not match the case of the class name in the program using olesup. When using the olesup "adviseEvents" method to register an event handler, keep in mind that the class names default to lower case. In this case, you should specify the class name literal in CLASS-CONTROL as lower case in the program where you invoke the "adviseEVents" method of the olesup class: CLASS-CONTROL.     MYEVENTCLASS IS CLASS "eventhandlerclass". If you specify the class name in upper case ("EVENTHANDLERCLASS"), then make sure that you add an entry in CLASS-CONTROL in the event handling class such as: CLASS-ID. EVENTHANDLERCLASS, INHERITS FROM OLEBASE-E.   CLASS-CONTROL.
