System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed:

Team,
We have deployed a webservice (asmx.cs) to a server. We have created a windo
ws app (C# using visual studios.net 2003 Enterprise Arch) that refers to the
web service. In the windows app, we added the web reference - referring to
the ?wsdl file. The C# co
de is quite simple:
VOSEWebServicesDevW.WebServices WebSvcW = new VOSEWebServicesDevW.WebService
s();
returncode = WebSvcW.OMTestAddOrderXML(comboBox3.Text,int.Parse(textBox2.Tex
t),comboBox4.Text);
This works fine the first time- but when it sits a few minutes and we retry
, we receive...
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

The project for the web service has a web.config file. I see no settings in
there of interest. I am new to this.
I would appreciate the guidance on what to do in the windows app C# code to
correctly access the web service on the team's server without having to clos
e & restart the windows app.

VerizonHi Tim,
From your description, you've a ASP.NET webservcie and created a Winform
client app to consume it. However, when calling the webservice, you found
it worked well the first time but occured unexpected error the second time
after a few minutes, yes?
From the code you provided(calling the webservice), it seems all right and
I don't think the problem is likely in the client application. I'm not sure
about the webservice's detailed code logic in its webmethods but from the
method's signature:
WebSvcW.OMTestAddOrderXML(comboBox3.Text,int.Parse(textBox2.Text),comboBox4.
Text);
it takes simply type params, so I think we can test the webservice through
IE, open the certain url (http://...... .asmx) in the IE and call the
webservice thourgh it. It is better if you can use VS.NET to debug the
webservice on the serverside to see whether the problem also occured when
calling it from IE. If still remains, we can confirm that the problem is
not caused by the winform client , do you think so?
In addition, as for creating client application to consume webservice,
below is the related web link in MSDN:
#Creating Clients for XML Web Services

webservices.asp?frame=true
Hope also helps. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. However, when I try to go directly to the ..asmx url
via IA, when I click on the name of the web service in order to test, I rec
eive this message - Test
The test form is only available for requests from the local machine. There
fore, I am unclear on how to proceed. The server is in another state so I ca
n't logon directly to it in order to test from my location. How shall I pro
ceed?
Thank you,

Hi Tim,
From your reply, you haven't the certain permission to logon the server
which host the webservice, yes? Then, I think we can do the following tests
on the webservice:
1. Creating a client proxy through the following guide(using wsdl.exe
rather than via VS.NET) and consume the webservice by the geneated proxy to
see whether the webservice still fail.
#Creating an XML Web Service Proxy
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...atingWebService
Proxy.asp?frame=true
2. I'm not sure whether you have ever tried calling a webservice via
javascript(DHTML) in a webpage, if not, you may have a look at the
following reference:
#Accessing Web Services From DHTML
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...001.asp?frame=t
rue
If you're able to perform a test via the DHTML way, we can further confirm
whether the problem is with the serverside or not.
In addtion, you can create a simple webservice( similiar with the one
you're consuming, maybe just take 2 string parameters) on your local
machine or a remote machine which you have full control on it. And then
call it on the local machine to see whether the same problem occurs. If
not, that also probably proof that the problem is likely due to the
webservice's serverside processing.
