"The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly."
Generally, this Communication Exception is thrown due to serialization problem and message is displayed as-
If you are expecting an return from a called method and using WCF service, then one possible cause behind this error could be your object serialization/de-serialization problem. If your service method returns something that is not serialize-able then your proxy channel makes this error.
To avoid this, just check-
1. The return type and make sure it is serializable. You may have to put [Serializable] attribute with your class as below:
[DataContract(Namespace = "http://codePattern.net/DataTypes/2013/03", Name ="StudentDetail")]
[Serializable]
public class StudentDetail
{
[DataMember(IsRequired=true)]
public string StudentName { get; set; }
}
IsRequired=true; tells that the value will be present while serializing ( its says underline property is a Non-Nullable value type).
2. Make sure your Enum values are matched with the values stored inside tables. This is the very critical situation because you don't expect it.
Happy Coding :)
