cant run a webservice

[Benjie Fallar III]

i developed a sample SmartDeviceExtension app in VB.NET that calls a
webservice (also written in VB.NET). When i test the WS it works fine
(browser), but when i add a web-reference and used the WS in my SDE app, it
raises and exception "WebException!". What should i do? Any help!

Things to check:

- make sure the app using the web service is pointed to the IP address of
your PC, not localhost
- Make sure you're not using an XScale-processor device

Start by testing your connectivity. A good test is to launch the browser
on the device(aka iPAQ) and browser to the WS. The browser on the device
should show you the same screen you see on the desktop browser. If this
doesn't work then you know its a connectivity issue.

You must be using the default namespace in your web service. Changing it to
your company's domain name or whatever else will help.

I also have the WebException thing but I've the connectivity to the
internet. I can see http://www.google.com (pex) in IE of my Pocket PC
emulator.
The simple Hello World web service works, with my machine as the Web Service
Server. But when I try to consume a colleague's (on LAN over HTTP -
Intranet) Web Service, I get the WebException. I don't think that I have a
problem of connectivity, because if I put on address bar of Pocket's IE the
reference link of my colleage Web Service, I can see the full WSDL.
From a desktop app, I can consume that Web Service. Works fine.
Any Ideas?

If you are using a name to access your colleague's web
server you might have a problems. I've heard about issues
with name resolution in the beta1. Try to do it by
ipaddress.
