I am going to create a web service and test them out locally. I have
VS2008, do I need IIS to test them?

Visual Studio 2008 works nicely if you add two projects to the same solution, one project for the web service and another for the client program that calls the service. You can mark the client as "startup project" and when you run it, it will automatically start the internal server to run the web service, as well as a second webserver for the client program if it is a web application.

This works fine for the initial tests but, as has already been mentioned in another post, you will need at some point to test against a real IIS, since not everything is identical to the runtime environment under Visual Studio.
