dotnet web services: Is there a way to host a ,NET web service without using IIS?
Looking for a small process that could be started that can host a local web
service that does not require an IIS installation.

I know of 2 or 3 options.

Cassini - see www.asp.net and search for cassini. This is a small webserver
built in C#. It does not do W3C logging, SSL, lifecycle, application
pooling, etc. Mostly suitable for test/debug and for embedding into a
non-server app that needs to "Serve" web services, like a winforms app that
wants to be able to get calls from outside. Cassini source is available, so
you can use it as is, or embed it into your own app.

There is also a CassiniEx project. http://www.systemex.net/CassiniEx/ .
This is a community-enhanced version of Cassini.

WSE2 - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/wse/default.aspx
