Windows Service config file

[Peter]

..NET 3.5

I have a Windows Service application and it does remoting,
but when a client incounters an error the client get the following error
message

"Server encountered an internal error. For more information, turn off
customErrors in the server's .config file."

Where do I turn this off

I have found the following statement but where do I put this statement,
client? server ? I have tried both but still getting the same error message

RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode

Thank You

Peter

does not make any difference.

I have tried to compile in Debug and Release and it did not make any

I know for a fact that the lines below get executed because I set the port

>Hi Peter,

Based on the code snippet you provided, you have used the following code
to set the CustomErrorMode on server:

RemotingConfig uration.CustomE rrorsMode = CustomErrorsMod es.Off;

Didn't it work?

Based on my understanding, there are two means to set Custom Error mode
for
remoting service:

1. Programmaticall y set it via code, just like the code you provided, you
can set RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode at initialization time.

2. You can also use configuration file to set the custom error mode. e.g.

==========
<system.runtim e.remoting>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
..
==========

However, you need to make sure you've called the following method so as
to
tell the remoting runtime to load configuration from the app.config file:

============ =
static void Init()
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Init....... ............... .....");

//here SimpleRemotingS ln.ServerApp.ex e is my server appliation's exe file
name.
RemotingConfig uration.Configu re("SimpleRemot ingSln.ServerAp p.exe.config");
........
============

Here's the conde on the Server side.

But this doesn't answer the question whether you are using a Config
file
or whether you are explicitly configuring the services and channels in
code. I would love to see the code that initializes the server side of
your remoting service.
Also, what's the exact error message received by the client when _the_
error occurs?

What is the value returned by CustomErrorsEna bled when called after the

When I execute the following on the client side the customErrors returns
false :

RemotingConfig uration.CustomE rrorsMode = CustomErrorsMod es.Off;
bool customErrors = RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsEnabled(fal se);

You need to execute this at the server side! It makes no sense to do this
on the client, it's the server that sends error information to the client
when an error occurs.
Willy.

Thank You

executing bool customErrors =
RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsEnabled(fal se);
on the server side did the trick.

[Steven Cheng [MSFT]]

Hi Peter,

Yes, as Willy mentioned, generally the CustomErrorMode means the Mode on
server-side because that controls whether the detailed error info will be
output to client-side. Therefore, now your remoting application's custom
error should has been turned off and the exception info is the full info
come from server-side.
