How can I call VC# webservice methods without ArgumentException?
- by Zarius
Currently, I'm trying to write a small tray application that will show the status and provide control of a server-side application exposed over webservice.
The webservice only has 3 operations: start, stop and status. When I call any of these operations in code, they throw an ArgumentException citing "An item with the same key has already been added". I am compiling the webservice on Visual C# Express 2008, and .NET 3.5.
The Code:
private TelnetConnClient Conn
{ get { return new TelnetConnClient(); } }
private bool Connected //call webservice operations
{
get { return Conn.Status(); }
set { if(value) Conn.Start();
else Conn.Stop(); }
}
The Stacktrace:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

I can just call the webservice from the web interface, but this application will give me a handy status notification icon, and I'd really love to know why the out-of-the-box auto-generated code fails for no particular reason.
