Why do I get the following server exception (500 response) when calling GetResponse() (HttpWebRequest) on a page with a WebDatePicker on it?

Hello FireStorm12,
Can you tell me what version and what build is the “WebDatePicker” control that you use in your application?
Also where in your code (in what event) do you call “GetResponse()” method?
If you can send me a simple example or code snippet that can allow me to reproduce this behavior it will be very useful in quickly identifying the cause of this exception.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Infragistics4.Web.v11.1, Version=11.1.20111.1006
I call GetResonse() from a separate WinForms application that I use to poll various web applications to determine their status. The code is essentially this:
// Create a HttpWebRequest to check for response
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://" + url);
webRequest.Timeout = Constants.ResponseTimout;
webRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
NetworkCredential nc = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("http://" + url);
proxy.Credentials = nc;
webRequest.Proxy = proxy;
try
{
using(HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse())
if(resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
return true;
else
return false;
}
catch(Exception e2)
LogError(string.Format("*** ERROR CHECKING APP FOR RESPONSE ***{0}{1}{0}",
CRLF, e2.Message), e2);
