Currently I am developing a .NET web service.

I have got the exception:

System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhost:1062/MyApp.asmx. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. —> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. —> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. —> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I could not find the root cause of the problem for four hours.
Then I tried the WCFStorm utility to test the web service.
Tried to call some service method, here is the log:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. —> System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).
error CS0200: Property or indexer ‘MyApp.DataAccess.Data.MediaInfo.ID’ cannot be assigned to — it is read only
// OTHER READONLY PROPERTIES HERE!

So, to solve the problem it is necessary to use Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) with public accessors/modifiers (XML serializer requires them).
