I cannot call the web service from a windows mobile 6 application to a website hosted in another server or machine. If i call the service, webexception will occured and when I use:

C#

catch (WebException ex)
{
  // handels the connection error exception anlong with web response error
  string message = ex.Message;
  HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;
  if (null != response)
  {
    message = response.StatusDescription;
    response.Close();
  }
  //end
  MessageBox.Show(message, "Error");
}
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;

I got the exception like "Cannot process the message because the content type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8; action="urn:iMAAPExternalServices/TestWCF"' was not the expected type 'application/soap+msbin1'." Please give me a immediate solution to develop my application.

See these solved threads

From link1[^]:
Security Token Service Error:

Secondly when updating the Security Token Service, in my default install I found that there was no <system.web> tag, and so placing the config after the </system.net> as instructed by Bill, caused the following error when trying to login:

ProtocolException: The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+msbin1). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly.

Once I enclosed my <membership> and <rolemanager> tags in a <system.web> </system.web> all was good. Thanks to this thread[^] for that solution.

From link2[^]:
Ah --- found it. The ServiceModel section in the website's web.config was set to customBinding. Changed it so it matched what the client was sending, and now it works beautifully.

From link3[^]:
Try remove the binaryEncoding tag. You can only use one type of encoding.

So you need to remove either TextEncoding or the BinaryEncoding element
