    copied!<p>I'm writing a Windows Form app that uses an API (the smartFOCUS API, to be precise) to write simple reports and write them to a file.</p> <p>I've done this about a hundred times using another simple Windows Form app I wrote, and the calls works fine, but when I try it with the app I'm working on, it returns this exception on the call:</p> <pre><code>System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled. Message = Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml' </code></pre> <p>Any idea on what could be causing this exception? It's really confusing me.</p> <p>If you'd like any more code or exception details or anything let me know.</p> <p>Here's the code that calls the method:</p> <pre><code> soap.GetEvents2(logOn.Username, logOn.Password, logOn.BoothKey, flag, ref eventFields, this.EventCode, accountKey, emailKey, packageKey, replyMapKey, this.BatchKey, this.StartDate, this.EndDate, maxRows, ref results); </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>Here's the reponse HTML:</p> <pre><code>The request failed with the error message: -- &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/&gt; &lt;title&gt;500 - Internal server error.&lt;/title&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; &lt;!-- body{margin:0;font-size:.7em;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background:#EEEEEE;} fieldset{padding:0 15px 10px 15px;} h1{font-size:2.4em;margin:0;color:#FFF;} h2{font-size:1.7em;margin:0;color:#CC0000;} h3{font-size:1.2em;margin:10px 0 0 0;color:#000000;} #header{width:96%;margin:0 0 0 0;padding:6px 2% 6px 2%;font-family:"trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;color:#FFF; background-color:#555555;} #content{margin:0 0 0 2%;position:relative;} .content-container{background:#FFF;width:96%;margin-top:8px;padding:10px;position:relative;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="header"&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Server Error&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="content"&gt; &lt;div class="content-container"&gt;&lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;h2&gt;500 - Internal server error.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h3&gt;There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Sorry for the messiness of that.</p>
