Webservice works on the browser but not from C# app

[subha]

I have a HelloWorld webservice that works on my IE browser. But, when
I add a webreference to it and call the HelloWorld method from my
WindowsFormsApp (return in C#), I get error messages. The error
messages differ depending on when I restart my machine.

RIGHT AFTER RESTART:

A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException'
occurred in system.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.

occurred in system.dll

I think you need to debug the web method code to see where you are
generating the null reference exception.

I hope this helps

Dan,

Thanks for the mail. An actual person from Microsoft Tech support found that
one of my installed applications was interfering with IIS for some reason.
When I uninstalled that application and restarted, my application started
reaching the webservice.

He found this by generating hang dumps and analyzing the hang dumps. I
wonder how others having similar problems would have found this.

Regards
Subha

Hi Subha,

Which application was interfering?
