Hello,
I have an application that I communicate with via .NET remoting. I wrote a
test harness that repeatedly hits the server with requests, one after the
other, in serial. The app does fine until I hit somewhere around 6500
successful returns from the server and then I get this Exception:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.RemotingException' in
mscorlib.dll"

It also wants me to turn on custom errors which I don't know how to do for
remoting.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can figure out what might be
causing this? It is, of course, not realistic to step through the thing 6500
time as each request can take several seconds.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Steve

Sounds like you are deploying in IIS if you are getting a turn on custom
errors message. Check out the webconfig file and modify the customErrors
element. Here's the definition:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/g
ngrfCustomerrorsSection.asp

You can trap errors in your remote object and log them to a file, event log,
or whatever is convenient for you and then rethrow the exception. Make sure
you have a try..catch block around your exposed remote methods to do so.

Thanks,

Sam

Sam,
thanks for the reply. It is not an IIS deployment so I added mode="On" in
the customErrors tag of machine.config. After trapping and error in the
body of the remote function, I'm getting:
"Input string was not in a correct format" Message but the parameters look
correct as I logged them as well. This error doesn't occur on my development
machine, only on a test box. ????
Confused..
