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 web
service succeeds, all others fail with a WebException. - protocolerror
If I close the application and restart it will allow me to access the
webservice again but only once,
I thought it may have had something to do with the garbage collector , but
adding cleanup code doesnt seem to help
If have installed .NETCF Service Pack 3 onto my devices but the problem
still exists.
I am testing on smartphone 2003 and ppc 2003
I have found that calling the webservice using http post works for muliple
webrequest
Here is some sample test code,
It works fine over gprs if I use my httprequesttest method muliple times, if
I use the my webserviceproxytest it only works once over gprs.
They both work fine if connected through acticesync.
