Calling a web service from an update panel

I am running through the tutorial on calling a web service from an update panel. I have a web site project and a separate web service project that contains the service that I'm trying to call. When I click the button that should make the call to the web service I get a javascript error that my web service is not defined. I am thinking that there is something wrong with the proxy that is getting created. So, I set the inlinescript property to true to see the .js that is getting generated. However, when I do this I get an error that : "The virtual path maps to another application which is not allowed". Does my web service file need to actually be in the same project as my website? This doesn't seem to make much sense because I have multiple web sites that call the same web service. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance

Hi Igouch,

Take a look at this:

http://ajax.asp.net/docs/mref/P_System_Web_UI_ServiceReference_Path.aspx

when you want to refer to a webservice that you have not in the same solution as your webproject you could use a bridge file to make it possible. otherwise if you want to complete the tutorial build the webservice in the same solution as the webproject. then you are able to set a direct reference to your webservice.

Hope it helps.

Right now I do have the web service in the same solution - but not the same project. Does the web service have to be in the same project as the web application? I am not familiar with doing this as we have always had a separate project for every web service that we've developed. Even though they are in the same solution I still am getting the message that the virtual path maps to a different application which is not allowed.
