Hi,



I have a webservice and a console application consumes that webservice.(everything on my local machine)

The Webservice has one method which takes a custom data type as input and sends back a custom response.

When I access this webmethod from my console application , I get this following error:



System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.



stack trace:

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

   at Microsoft.Web.Services3.WebServicesClientProtocol. GetWebResponse(WebReques
   at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtoc ol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)


Please help how to get rid of this exception.



Thanks!
