Hi @Perry M ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Please refer to the document to add Web Service (ASMX) file in VS 2022: create ASP.NET Web Application(.NET Framework) project > right-click your project > Add > New Item… > search Web Service (ASMX) > click on Add.

If you can’t find the ASP.NET Web Application(.NET Framework) project template, please close all instances of Visual Studio and open your VS installer > Modify > install “.NET Framework project and item templates” in Individual components.

Sincerely,
Anna
