How to make a component as a web service?

[Lodoss]

Hi,<BR> 1)we have a ATL com component written in VC++.<BR>what should we do in order to convert this component as a web service(Using C# or vb.net).Do we have any interface for converting this using VIsualStudi.net IDE.(Or do we need to write a wrapper to the methods exposed by the componennt manually).<BR> 2)Is it possible to develop an web application using VisualStudio.net by using web services and web forms(without java script and html and dhtml like that)?<BR><BR> 3)what are the advatages of going for web service rather than a component?Do we have any specific advantages?<BR><BR> REgards<BR>chandu<BR>[email protected]<BR><BR>
