Not able to connect to webservice from a WP7 emulator

 private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
     WebClient wb = new WebClient();
     wb.DownloadStringCompleted += new Dow开发者_如何学JAVAnloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wb_DownloadStringCompleted);
     wb.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265"));

     }
    void wb_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        XElement xmlResult = XElement.Parse(e.Result);

    }

This is code i have used. I am getting an error "Unable to connect to the remote server". I am able to connect to internet from the IE browser in the emulator.

Suggest a suitable solution.

Did you try to restart your emulator ? Because it happens to me : I got this error with the emulator but none with a simple console programm. After a restart of VS, it works.

I cannot reproduce your problem with the code you have provided. Are you sure you're not stuck behind a firewall or something that blocks your request? Try using Fiddler (or a product like it) to see whats going on.

To allow the Emulator in friewall.

• Open Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed Programs
• Click on "Change Settings" to enable "Allow another program"
• Browse - > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe"
• Tick Public / Private Network or both as you are connected to internet.
