Recently I've had the need to test some web methods on a web service on a different machine on the network. Unless you change the web.config or machine.config file you will get this error: "The test form is only available for requests from the local machine." So I searched on google and found this wonderful program, .NET WebService Studio.

.NET Webservice Studio is a tool to invoke webmethods interactively. The user can provide a WSDL endpoint. On clicking button Get the tool fetches the WSDL, generates .NET proxy from the WSDL and displays the list of methods available. The user can choose any method and provide the required input parameters. On clicking Invoke the SOAP request is sent to the server and the response is parsed to display the return value.

So now I can just load up the .NET WebService Studio, paste in the locacation of the .asmx file and then enter the data in to test the method.
