Usually asmx files are more like proxies for business objects and business objects are not owned by website projects. The web service classes should be hosted in a different business logic project and not in a view. aspx and aspx.cs, on the other hand, are additional files that are placed correctly within the website project, since their job is to represent the data.

When you work with website projects, this is the style that Visual Studio uses. This does not apply to web application projects.
