Upgrade RemotingHost to 3.5 Framework Issue

honus posted on Monday, October 20, 2008

Hello,

All I did was upgrade my Remoting Host solution to the .Net Framework 3.5, and all h3ll broke loose. I now get a 'SerializationException was unhandled' error, with the following error:

The input stream is not a valid binary format. The starting contents (in bytes) are: 3C-68-74-6D-6C-3E-0D-0A-20-20-20-20-3C-68-65-61-64 ...

This error occurs in the FETCH function within RemotingProxy.vb. Setting the Target Framework back to 2.0 fixes the problem. The only change I see when changing the framework to 3.5 are changes to web.config (the only file in the RemotingHost).

Any help will be appreciated!

Hey,

Your best bet is to get an http sniffer to spy on the request. You're getting an html file back, and the binary stream doesn't expect that.. 3C-68 etc are the start of a text file.

Hi Andy,

Do you know what does 53-79-73-74-... means?
