For some reason, my ASP.NET web service will not correctly return exceptions to the client machine. The .NET Framework SDK says that a web service should return a SoapException whenever a server-side error occurs, and the client should see some sort of <fault> element. All the client sees, however, is a generic "HTTP 500 Internal server error". I even tried explicitly throwing a new SoapException, but with the same result.

I'm thinking that there is a certain project property that is not set correctly, but I can't find it for the life of me.

What do I need to do to allow the web service to return exceptions to the client?

Thanks.
 
That's not quite the problem I was having, though the solution will definitely come in handy in the future. The issue with my web service is that a SoapException is not even making it back to the client. Instead of returning a <fault> soap message, it returns an HTTP error.
