Question

i have made window application, which checks new announcements on sharepoint 2007 site, if any new announcemnt is found it shows it as link in my win application.
application is running fine on my server machine, but when i try to run my window application from normal machine it gives me:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The
Web application at
http://Server-Name:Port-Num/lists/announcements/Allitems.aspx could not be found. Verify that you
have typed the URL correctly. If the
URL should be serving existing
content, the system administrator may
need to add a new request URL mapping
to the intended application.

this machine exists on LAN, as i can access site from my browser, but when it comes to win application it gives me the above error on following line:

string rawurl = "http://192.168.1.105:1625/";
SPSite site = new SPSite(rawurl);  // this line gives error

Answer 1

It should throw an exception because the Server Object Model you are using like SPSite, SPWeb will not work unless it’s on the server either web application or windows application.

If you want to get data from a remote sharepoint server you should use SharePoint Web Services.
