You should consider using ASMX for this scenario. We typically recommend Remot ...Show All

• .NET Development x64 Conversion project with "Application error"

The project runs great in 32-bit. It's a C++ application that has dll-files which I personally compile in 64-bit, shouldn't be any other except systme files.

But, when I try t ...Show All
