  I think there is a problem in your web service deployment..
  Are you deploying it on the IIS?
  Could you please tell how did you deploy it on IIS ?
  If this is an ASP.NET application, then you have to give ASPNET and NETWORKSERVICE priviledges..
  You also have to create a virtual directory for your web service..
  And finally you have to provide web service extension to your files..
  
  Then you can use the browse feature in your IIS to test whether your web service is running properly..
  
  Also I feel there is some connection problem with you 'TestSource' datasource.. Please check your connection string properly..
  
  Hope this helps !!

  Paul,
  Thanks for your reply. I solved this problem by adding Network service NTFS permission to web service folder.

  Hi vichu, if you read my first post properly, I had already told you to check NETWORK SERVICE permissions on your folder.
  Anyways, I'm glad that you solved you problem. For any further queries, please post in the ASMX Web Services and XML Serialization forums as suggested by Xun-Ye.
