[Mono-list] webservice HTTP 500 - SOLVED

[James Fitzsimons]

Hi Carl and list,

Thanks for all your help. I finally managed to figure out what the
problem was. Interestingly I figured it out at work on a MS machine. The
MS .NET framework displays exactly the same (IMHO totally incorrect )
error message when using the web service I was trying to get working on
my linux box at home.

> My .asmx now looks like this:

I told a little lie here when I wrote that, although I didn't realise it
at the time. My actual .asmx file looked like this:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" Class="HelloWorld.Hello,Hello" %>
// created on 09/07/2005 at 23:39

That was how MonoDevelop created it. Now as you can see it has a comment
underneath. Instead of causing a parser error (as it probably should)
this causes a totally bizzare System.TypeLoadException to be reported!

Very strange. Anyway, moral of the story - no comments in your .asmx
file.

Cheers,
James Fitzsimons
