I am designing an application,in which, i wish to catch an exception if the
destination SoapReceiver doesnt exist or is not actively running.
For this i initialized a SoapReceiver (the faultReceiver) at a specific
endpoint (the fault endpoint) to catch all faults.
The FaultTo address of the SoapEnvelope's context is set to the above fault
endpoint.

Now if i send a request to a non existing endpoint, the FaultReceiver is
sent a message. This works fine as long the end points are "soap.inproc".
If i change the endpoint to "soap.tcp", then the faultReceiver doesnt
receive a message.
Does the FaultTo works only with inproc?
Is there a better way to throw and catch Faults?

Thanks

The code is shown below.

private EndpointReference faultEndpoint = new EndpointReference(new Uri
("soap.inproc://localhost/fault"));
private EndpointReference destination = new EndpointReference(new
Uri("soap.inproc://localhost/SomeWhere"));

 private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
      FaultReceiver faultReceiver = new FaultReceiver(); // FaultReceiver
derives from a SoapReceiver
      SoapReceivers.Add(faultEndpoint, faultReceiver);
 }

 private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
      SoapSender sendRequest = new SoapSender(destination);

      SoapEnvelope env = new SoapEnvelope();
      env.Context.Addressing.Action = new Action("SomeTestAction");
      env.Context.Addressing.FaultTo = new FaultTo(faultEndpoint);
      env.Body.InnerText = "TestData";
      sendRequest.Send(env);
 }

the receive method of the faultReceiver is show below

protected override void Receive(SoapEnvelope envelope)
{
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("The receiver was unavailable");
}
