I have an ASP.net app that has forms authentication setup for security. I have just added a web service to this app to be accessed from a desktop application. When I try to add a web reference too the service in the new desktop application I enter the url of the webservice but instead of displaying the methods of the web service it just displays the login page of the website in the little preview window and will not add a web service reference.
if I logon in the preview window I can then browse to the web service but it still does not find any of the methods to add from the service.
If I turn off forms authentication on the website it works fine I can browse to the web service when adding the reference and it picks it up and shows all the various methods.
So how can I get my webservice to work on a site that incorporates Forms authentication?
thanks
Eric
