Bug? Consuming WebServices over GPRS only works once

[Richard Thombs]

I have a simple application that tries to consume a web service. It works
fine when the PocketPC is connected to the Internet via ActiveSync, but when
it attempts to use a GPRS connection, only the first invocation of the
service succeeds, all others fail with a WebException.

Even the PocketTaskVision application seems to suffer from this problem. Is
this a CF.NET bug?

I've searched high and low on the web and I can't find any references to
this issue, nor can I find anything that implies I should be doing anything
special for GPRS.

Can anybody help me please?

Thanks,

Stony.

I have had a similar issue and haven't been able to really tie the issue
down, however to get around the issue I wrote my own classes to access the
web services on top of System.Net.Sockets. this seems to work fine except
you have to kick the dialler off manually to create the GPRS connection.

Yup me too.

Geez, isn't writing your own web service consumer quite a lot of work? Is
that what you did too David?
