Question

I have a simple webservice with two webmethods.

https://localhost/Sub/WS/Dash.asmx/test_error_methodnameXXXXXXXXXXX

When i call the above request from the browser. It gives me a error message saying something like this:-

System.InvalidOperationException: test_error_methodnameXXXXXXXXXXX Web
Service method name is not valid. at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpServerProtocol.Initialize() at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type,
HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response,
Boolean& abortProcessing)

I tried to make a work around with the help of web.config file as follows:-

<system.web>    
    <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Sub/ErrorPage/AppErrors.aspx">
       <error statusCode="500" redirect="500.aspx" />
    </customErrors>       
</system.web>

Here in this case, the redirection is not happening to the 500.aspx page or the AppErrors.aspx.
I can see the change happening, if i change the value in the mode attribute..

Thanks.
