Preventing HTML Errors from web service

I have an ASP.NET web service that is written in C#. The service is not called using a browser, instead it is called by another thick client C# application.

If my web service throws an exception, the exception is caught by the thick client in C# as expected. The exception text gets displayed in a message box. All this works just fine. However, the problem I am having is that if IIS throws its own excecption that has nothing to do with my service, then the error comes back as HTML. I understand that this would be fine if the service was being called from a browser, but, as I said, the client is another application.

How can I tell IIS to not send these messages back as HTML ?

soap response.

I have a web form where a client can select which site members to send an email to. This form is populated from the contents of the member table, so the form can have 0-x names listed on it depending on member expiration dates. When the form is submitted, the code loops through the form contents and sends an email to those members that meet the selected criteria. All this worked perfectly when I was sending text emails, but since I

With the body tag calling out 'window onload', a function with a 'window.open' fails at the 'window.open' line. If I cut out the body tag, the function executes as normal. At first I thought it was the entire function failing, but I tested with alerts and found that it was only the 'window.open' that fails to execute. The function is being called by a link, and I suspected some problem with the body alink/vlink but after cutting that out...

Hello, I am new to JS and am trying to add some HTML into a JS function. So that when called the script as well as the HTML will be invoked. Is there some type of embed mechanism, sort of the reverse of embedding JS in an html page with the script tag. (which is what I am doing in this case) Is this even possible?

I have an asp.net program that uses a connection string, using integrated security to connect to a sql database. It runs fine on one server, but the other server gives me the error that "Login failed for user "NT AUTHORITY/ANONYMOUS LOGON". Why would this be? There is no reason it should even be trying to login to using NT Authority/Anonymous login. The IIS Server is set to turn off anonymous logins, and use integrated security, and my...

When I compile my application if there are any .net coding errors they show up fine in the error list in VS.NET 2005 following my attempt to compile. However there are also a ton of other errors about the html not being transitional. I'm not worried about those right now. Is there a way to suppress those so I only get "real" asp.net errors and not html markup errors? Thanks, Steve

Hi Our company has a .Net web service that, when called via asp.net web pages across our network works 100%! The problem is that when we try and call the web service from a remote machine, one outside of our domain, we get the error.. ** Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=Windows-1252', but expected 'text/xml' **. We can discover the web service by typing in the url of the asmx so we know the server can 'see' it...

Perhaps I have missed something but what I would like to do is have a more "controlled" method of generating HTML from a web service. I can create items using HtmlTable, HtmlTableRow, and HtmlTableCell but is there a quick method once the table has been built to get the HTML, put it in a string for return the browser call for the web service? I notice that HtmlTable does not support InnerHtml so that is not doable. Ideas??

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
