.NET Service Reference - Soap Client state always Faulted

Question

I have a .NET Web Form Application which uses soap web service for some operations. In my solution, there are few projects and one of them is responsible for soap operations. Thus I added Service Reference to that project. My old publish works well but now, I can't call any method in the web service because throws error.

The error message:

The communication object, System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory`1[ProjectName.IntegrationServiceSoap], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

Whenever I create an instance of soap client, it's state property is always Faulted.

I tested it with test endpoints, removed and re-added the service reference but it is not working.

Stack trace:

Any idea? How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

I resolved the problem by downgrading project's .NET Framework Version from 4.5.1 to 4.5

I also added fault listener to my SoapClient.

    private void CreateSoapClient()
    {
        client = new IntegrationServiceSoapClient("IntegrationServiceSoap");
        client.ChannelFactory.Faulted += ChannelFactory_Faulted;
    }

    private void ChannelFactory_Faulted(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        client.Abort();
        client.ChannelFactory.Faulted -= ChannelFactory_Faulted;
        client = null;
        CreateSoapClient();
    }

I don't know what is actually problem. Now, my client is working without any problem.
