If you use Visual Studio .NET, it breaks your web service into two parts, a
.ASMX file and a .ASMX.CS file. The .ASMX.CS file is referenced by the
CODEBEHIND attribute in the .ASMX file. Now when you compile your project,
the .ASMX.CS (codebehind) is compiled to a .DLL and placed in your BIN
folder under your VROOT. When the ASP.NET runtime is serving an .ASMX file
(reference in the URL), it sees the INHERITS attribute and compiles a
temporary class by inheriting the codebehind class from the DLL. So, /BIN is
just the default probing path to lookup assemblies. And since you don't want
to configure alternative probing paths in web.config, you problem can be
solved by not using a codebehind at all. Put all your code in .ASMX and be
done with!
