ProtocolException Class
The exception seen on the client that is thrown when communication with the remote party is impossible due to mismatched data transfer protocols.
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
The ProtocolException can be caused by incompatible bindings between endpoints, the use of an incorrect remote endpoint address, or similar incorrect configuration.
This exception derives from CommunicationException that represents a class of recoverable errors that may be thrown during communication between endpoints and that robust client and service Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications are expected to handle. To prevent a handler for CommunicationException from catching the more specific ProtocolException, catch this exception prior to handling CommunicationException.
