IIRC the config file of the web app.

Re: Windows Service config file

What does this mean "IIRC the config file of the web app." ?

This is what I have in my app.comfig file, but the client is still getting
the same error message.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<system.runtime .remoting>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.runtime. remoting>
</configuration>

If I Remember Correctly

You have to set the same tag but inside <system.web>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

The OP is not talking about a Web service but about a Windows service
exposing remoting endpoints.

From above, it looks like your remoting server is not using a config file.
When you don't use a config file to configure your remoting services and
channels, you'll have to set the customError mode in code by calling
RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsEnabled.

But this doesn't answer the question whether you are using a Config file or
whether you are explicitly configuring the services and channels in code. I
would love to see the code that initializes the server side of your remoting
service.
Also, what's the exact error message received by the client when _the_ error
occurs?

Re: Windows Service config file

Here's the error message on the client sided

"Server encountered an internal error. For more information, turn off
customErrors in the server's .config file."

Here's the conde on the Server side.

namespace ReportsService
{
public partial class ReportService : ServiceBase
{
private TcpChannel _objChannel = null;

private const int INT_DEFAULT_POR T = 8000;
private const string STR_DEFAULT_NAM E = "ReportsServer. tcp";

public ReportService()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode = CustomErrorsMod es.Off;
// Create the TcpChannel
this._objChanne l = new TcpChannel(INT_ DEFAULT_PORT);
ChannelServices .RegisterChanne l(this._objChan nel, false);

// Register the Proxy class for remoting.
RemotingConfigu ration.Register WellKnownServic eType(
typeof(Report),
STR_DEFAULT_NAM E,
WellKnownObject Mode.Singleton) ;

}

protected override void OnStop()
{
ChannelServices .UnregisterChan nel(this._objCh annel);
}
}
}

Re: Windows Service config file

Hi Peter,

Based on the code snippet you provided, you have used the following code
to set the CustomErrorMode on server:

RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode = CustomErrorsMod es.Off;

Didn't it work?

Based on my understanding, there are two means to set Custom Error mode for
remoting service:

1. Programmaticall y set it via code, just like the code you provided, you
can set RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode at initialization time.

2. You can also use configuration file to set the custom error mode. e.g.

==========
<system.runtime .remoting>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
...
==========

However, you need to make sure you've called the following method so as to
tell the remoting runtime to load configuration from the app.config file:

=============
static void Init()
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Init....... ............... .....");

//here SimpleRemotingS ln.ServerApp.ex e is my server appliation's exe file
name.

RemotingConfigu ration.Configur e("SimpleRemoti ngSln.ServerApp .exe.config");
.........
============

Steven Cheng

Re: Windows Service config file

RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode = CustomErrorsMod es.Off;
or
RemotingConfigu ration.Configur e("ReportsServe r.exe.config");

does not make any difference.
the client still is getting
"Server encountered an internal error. For more information, turn off
customErrors in the server's .config file."

I have tried to compile in Debug and Release and it did not make any
difference.

I know for a fact that the lines below get executed because I set the port
number in the same method.

RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsMode = CustomErrorsMod es.Off;
or
RemotingConfigu ration.Configur e("ReportsServe r.exe.config");

You need to execute this at the server side! It makes no sense to do this on
the client, it's the server that sends error information to the client when
an error occurs.

Thank You

executing bool customErrors =
RemotingConfigu ration.CustomEr rorsEnabled(fal se);
on the server side did the trick.

Re: Windows Service config file

Hi Peter,

Yes, as Willy mentioned, generally the CustomErrorMode means the Mode on
server-side because that controls whether the detailed error info will be
output to client-side. Therefore, now your remoting application's custom
error should has been turned off and the exception info is the full info
come from server-side.

Steven Cheng
