1. Save the above text in a file named hello.asmx file in the inetpub/wwwroot directory

2. Access the web service by specifying the .asmx file in the URL
	 (i.e. http://localhost/simplehello.asmx)

3. Invoking the web service this way automatically generates a web page that specifies the message format, and gives you a convenient invocation button for simple parameters. (i.e. it only supports a GET)

4. Notice that the response is wrapped in XML
