I have inherited 3 XML Web services (asmx) contained in a single ASP.NET Web site project (VB.NET, .NET 2). I would like to create an ASP.NET Web Application project (VB.NET, .NET 4.5), and copy all of the services into that. Then, replace the old Web site.
The reason I would like to do that is partly so I can add the application to GitHub, and partly so I can break some of the code into separate projects, for example, a DAL project.
I wonder if I can just pretty much copy and paste the web services into the new application, or will I have a problem related to versioning?
There are a lot of different companies that call the old .asmx Web services and they cannot be asked to update their Web references etc.
Thanks very much for any help.
