Well, I just pulled this one off, and I can guarantee you it will work, as
it does here. Try putting in the full URL to the asmx file itself, and not
just the path. Also, make sure that you have it in quotes - you don't have
quotes in what you typed below, and I don't know if that was just quick
typing or not. (URL takes a string argument.)

myService.URL = "http://myserver/myWebService/Service1.asmx";
myService.invokeMethod();

I had completely forgotten that the URL property was public, which makes my
rather difficult (though functional) alternatives seem rather ... erm ...
silly. Sorry about that...
