I wrote a WPF application that utilizes WebService calls to a server running IIS to get data. The problem is that sometimes the application throws an exception (or crashes) because it can't establish a connection. This continues to happen until I restart the IIS service and I'm not sure what is going on.
Background Info:
- The application is written in WPF.
- The WebServices were written using the Eclipse IBM WSDL plugin (the WSDL files were verified to be interoperable), then built using WCSF.blue.
- The Windows Server 2008 R2 instance is being run as a virtual machine on a UNIX server.
- IIS 7 is being run as a service on this Windows Server.
I understand that it probably isn't something that can be easily pointed to as far as issues go, but perhaps someone can point me to some diagnostic tools that I can easily install on the client or server (or some built-in options to IIS7) that will help me determine why my application can't get a connection unless I restart the IIS service.
I downloaded and tried using some "profiler" tools, but only 1 of the 3 worked, and even then it was very difficult to understand the resulting data, and even then I don't think it would've been able to diagnose my issue.
