Error message when you try to use a client application that is built on the .NET Framework 1.1 to consume a .NET Framework 2.0-based Web service: "System.InvalidOperationException"
When you try to use a Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1-based client to consume a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0-based Web service, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (1, 446). --->
System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.ParseUInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)
at System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToUInt32(String s)
at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.XmlSerializationReaderTestWs.Read1_Object1(Boolean isNullable, Boolean checkType)
at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.XmlSerializationReaderTestWs.Read6_GetMethodResponse()
at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly. GetMethodResponseSerializer.Deserialize(XmlSerializationReader reader)
at System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.Deserialize(XmlReader xmlReader, String encodingStyle, XmlDeserializationEvents events)
This behavior may also occur when you use a Java-based client.
Note This behavior does not occur when you use a .NET Framework 2.0-based client.
This behavior occurs because the .NET Framework 1.1 does not support deserialization of nullable value types.
To work around this behavior, modify the proxy class for the client application to convert nullable value types to reference types. In the following example, the nullable
int type is converted to the
string type. When the
string value is returned, the value is converted back to the
int type.
For example, the code for the proxy class for the client application may resemble the following code example.
public class MyClass
{
public int id;
}To work around this problem, replace the code for the proxy class with the following code example.
public class MyClass
{
[XmlElement(IsNullable = true)]
public string id;
[XmlIgnore]
public int idValue
{
get
{
if (this.id == null || this.id.Length == 0)
return 0;
return Convert.ToInt32(id);
}
set
{
id = Convert.ToString(value);
}
}
}

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
