VS2005 App Calling WebService built with VS2003 Issue

[Craig]

Hi All,

One of our customers wrote an application in Visual Studio 2005 and is
trying to use our webservices that was built with Visual Studio 2003. He
reports that the call to the method always times out. If he uses the same
code in Visual Studio 2003 it works fine (it's a simple sign-in method with 2
string parameters for user id and password).

Does anyone know why there is an issue with a VS2005 app calling a
webservice method that was built with VS2003?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Nope there should be no problem whatsoever.

He must be doing something differently - have you seen the code?

Is your service actually receiving the request - is it ever making it
to your server? This is where I'd start.

Hmm first off make sure everything is really a webservice (that is,
something allowed by the WS-I standards) and not a "webservice"
(something that disobeys even the most subtle of WS-I laws).

If you're all standardized, then you're dealing with web services and
you should be able to interop without any problem. Since it's VS2003,
you're probably talking about basic profile WS-I.

q, you wouldn't expect a timeout if there was some incompatibility
issue - you'd expect an error. Furthermore they're both written in .NET
and the asmx plumbing hasn't changed much so even if they weren't 100%
WS-I compliant I wouldn't expect it to just sit there.

How are you getting on with this Craig?

Hi Josh,

I had to re-post a new question because its no longer an issue with VS2003.
If you could, please see my new post about VS2005 Webservice Debug...

Thanks!
