You can host Web Services directly in your app without IIS as long as you use Microsoft's web service enhancements which supports a Soap TCP interface, however the disadvantage is that both client and server both have to use WSE3.
See here for more details.

It's also possible to host the ASP.NET runtime in your app, hook into the HTTP stack and serve requests for a web service or webpages without the need for IIS.
See here for an excellent example.
However having played around with this with a process plugin for media portal there are problems as have been said which I believe is to do with AppDomains and process boundaries, but didn't look into it in any real detail.
