Serialization error when trying to display Layer on Map

BKuiper · ‎12-20-2012

Hi,

One of our developers get the following error on his application when he tries to display a layer on the map. The layer will display correctly on the Javascript browser on the Runtime webservices endpoint, but it can not be consumed by the Map control.

Do you have any idea what is going wrong or how we can better debug this? We could consider using Fiddler and are looking into getting reflector installed on his machine, but I was curious if there was some other way we could get additional debugging information for Esri as this is the only machine that we get this error on. Other developers with the same code are not experiencing this problem.

Greetings Bjorn
