The URL is wrong, or the port is wrong, or one of the firewalls between the client and the server is blocking the request. You'll need to look at the details of the exception and debug the connection. We can't do that for you. For example, if the error says "the target machine actively refused", that normally points to a firewall. If it's a timeout, then the URL or port is wrong.

Hi Pete, it's just a basic ASP Net Core MVC API - when it's finished I will look at something like OAuth2 , at the moment while it's in development ( because it has *real* data in a database ( maybe I should change that ) ) I'd like to nail it down so only someone on my local LAN can connect to the API - as you know I'm not expert in all things Web "We can't stop here - this is bat country" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Thanks Richard. Yes, I think they moved the SMTP server to a separate box, and have subsequently put DNS forwarding for mail.mydomain.com to the new server, so that it works but does not automatically authenticate. That would also explain why it broke again for a while but subsequently worked once the DNS changes propagated. The subdomain that is still working without a password is an oddity - as far as I can tell it's on the same server (I guess there may be some checks I can do to verify, even looking at the IIS logs etc maybe). But as they've now setup a dedicated mail server it seems unlikely it would still be on that box... I'll do some more tests (and clone a page from one of the other sites to this one, as the code is slightly different though not using a password) to verify it's nothing different in the logic. I run multiple sites with this host, and manage sites for clients on other shared hosts - all seem to suffer from the problem of unplanned, unannounced and undocumented configuration changes that break sites. I guess the majority of their income comes from static or otherwise trivial sites. I left my last host because they changed DBMS (from MySql to MariaSQL) with no warning, breaking a number of things, and claiming that MySql had been "renamed" MariaSql. That level of ignorance and stupidity was truly scary so they barely saw me for dust... :laugh:

IS that 5xxxx port in use? Then it should be possible to identify the guilty from the Network tab in Resource Monitor, and you can see which process is the culprit. If there is no trace of port 5xxxx in Resource Monitor, then the error message is wrong, and you must search for other explanations. My guess is that after an earlier run, the closedown ran into issues so the cleanup wasn't done properly. Maybe there is a stray detached process holding that port (then you'll see it in Resource Monitor), or some table of "ports that I have opened and must remember to close" table wasn't ceared. Both of these would most easily be solved by a controlled shutdown and reboot. If you have rebooted since the problems arose, to no avail, there may be configuration / state info saved in the registry, application specific ini files etc. Right now, I am fighting a problem in an IDE: Every now and then things lock up. and the only way to unlock it is to delete the entire build directory. Earlier today, I had another problem: When one project setup was corrupted, I wanted to select another one - but the IDE always initialize e.g. directory searches from the settings of the current project, whose values were corrupted. So the selection dialog locked up completely (even after deleting the build directory of the current project), and I couldn't select another one. Fortunately, I found a list of "recently opened projects", and selecting one of those updated the defaults for the project selection dialog, overwriting the corrupted values. I have no idea about where those corrupted values are stored, and I had to resort to tricks to get them out of the way. You may have to go on a similar hunt :-). As a last resort, I could have wiped out the entire IDE and reinstalling it from scratch; fortunately I didn't have to do that (reinstallation takes quite some time). Maybe you will end up with having to do that.

You don't find them because that's not part of Windows, the .NET Framework, or Visual Studio. It's a 3rd party component you have to download.

Before assuming the fault is caused by "a change" in Windows, I'd suggest you take a look at the eventlog, and find an older computer that you know "isn't changed" and try it there.

You are doing it the wrong way round. Add the data to the DataTable and use that as the binding source for the DataGridView. See DataTable Class (System.Data) | Microsoft Docs[^] for explanation and sample code.

great job man that really looks cool

Either the remote service is expecting Unicode data, or your generated XML has specified that it's using Unicode. Try sending the request with the Unicode encoding: string xmlString = CalculateOrderQueryXML(key, accountName); StringContent stringContent = new StringContent(xmlString, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Text.Xml); using (HttpResponseMessage response = await http.PostAsync("https://www.mywebsite.com/shared/xml/orderquery.rest", stringContent)) { string responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument(); xml.LoadXml(responseString); return xml.OuterXml; } If that doesn't work, then you'll need to check the result of your CalculateOrderQueryXML method.
