Need to write web service

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have used web services before WSDL files and such but never written one. I need some basic starting info.

1. Can I write a web service in a windows app? or are all web services asp web apps? In other words what type of program do I create?

2. Anyone point me to a tutorial that is very basic like write one that takes two numbers and returns the sum?

3. Getting a bit deeper now, but I need to know if to use VB 2003 or 2005. One of our business partners who is going to have to use it insists I have to write it in .net 1.1 and not 2.0. I really don't see why he would care what it is written in. I would think using it over the web would be generic.
