.Net Framework / Webservice

[AZSEEK]

Greetings All...

I am having an unique problem... I wrote a Webservice using VB.Net

the web service works without issues on the local machine...

however, if I try to call the web service on a remote machine I get the following error message:

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:


[InvalidOperationException: Request format is unrecognized.]
System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandlerFactory.CoreGetHandler(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response) +388
System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandlerFactory.GetHandler(HttpContext context, String verb, String url, String filePath) +94
System.Web.HttpApplication.MapHttpHandler(HttpContext context, String requestType, String path, String pathTranslated, Boolean useAppConfig) +699
System.Web.MapHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute() +95
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +173

I recently installed the following service patches on the remote machine (XP Professional) Q282010: Recommended Update for Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 7 (SP7) - Windows XP; Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1; 817606: Security Update (Windows XP); 823559: Security Update for Microsoft Windows

I recently installed the following service patches on the local machine (Windows 2000) Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1; Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Express Install for End Users; 817606: Security Update (Windows 2000); 822679: Security Update (Windows 2000);823559: Security Update for Microsoft Windows

Any ideas on what is happening... I think that it is a security issue... I am not sure thru...

Did you run NGen on your assemblies? Installing service packs, changing security settings, etc. require you to run NGen again.

Have you had a look at the "Local Intranet" security settings in the .NET configuration MMC snap-in?

[AZSEEK]

what is NGen and how do I run it?

 

[chiph]

If you don't know, then you obviously didn't run it!

(NGen is the native-code compiler that translates MSIL into native code - there are some important restrictions in it's use)

I would follow the security permissions angle.
