Desktop application not able to connect to web services.

I have a desktop application it uses web-services to communicate with the databases. It was running fine but suddenly after a couple of restarts on the server end the application is unable to connect to the web-services. now it shows the following error in the debugging mode "The type initializer for 'System.ServiceModel.Diagnostics.TraceUtility' threw an exception."

The same application is installed on around 20 PC's however it is still running on 13 while giving an error on the remaining ones.

Is there any difference you can identify between the seven machines where there's no problem, and the others that have a problem ?

No difference at all. All the machines are identical in terms of operating systems and specs.

Thanks for your response. I have compared my app.config file with the solution you provided, and they are in the same order as the solution suggested.

try to hit your webservice url in browser and check if any firewall issues

the webservice url returns the service page with all the coded functions.

Did this ever get resolved? If so, what was the resolution? I am having a similar issue trying to call a web service from a batch server. I have reviewed the configs and they are fine. Hoping you found a solution...

I recreated the project and built the solution. It worked like a charm . Still unable to know the exact reason.
