this.url null exception using WebserviceClient in Winforms app.

Hi All,

 

I am trying to get a winforms app to use the WebServiceClient DLL and keep getting the error url is null when it trys to assign it to the proxy.Url.  I have set up the config as follows and think I have everything set.

 <netTiersService defaultProvider="WsNetTiersProvider">
  <providers>

   <add
   name="SqlNetTiersProvider"
   type="grd.Data.SqlClient.SqlNetTiersProvider, grd.Data.SqlClient"
   connectionStringName="netTiersConnectionString"
   providerInvariantName="System.Data.SqlClient"
   entityFactoryType="grd.Entities.EntityFactory"
   useEntityFactory="true"
   enableEntityTracking="true"
   enableMethodAuthorization="false"
   useStoredProcedure="false"
  />
   <add
     name="WsNetTiersProvider"
     type="grd.Data.WebServiceClient.WsNetTiersProvider, grd.Data.WebServiceClient"
     url="http://localhost/GrdServices/GrdServices.asmx"
        />
  </providers>
 </netTiersService>

 

AnyIdeas

 

Thanks

That usuall means that you are trying to access the webservice provider directly.  Continue calling  DataRepository.MyEntityProvider.GetAll();  it will instatiate and pass the correct url for the webservice.

OK,

 

I got it to work, but the first time you call any of the data providers they are really slow.  After the first call they seem to seppd up.  It seems to be when the app just starts.  After you have loaded some data it is speedy.  Why is that?

 

Thanks and keep up the good work.
