Xamarin PCL Unhandled Exception: TargetInvocationException - soap

Im making an mobile application which can communicate with Dynamics AX using a WCF service.
Im fairly new to Xamarin, and im trying to create a PCL library for a shared IOS and Android application. Im also working on an Windows Phone App which pretty much works by now. Im using a WCF service ive created which does all the communication with Dynamics AX, and the service exposes its methods using Metadata. I've added a Service Reference to the Windows Phone solution and the generated Proxy works like a charm, i should say im using SOAP.
But if i transfer the generated Reference.cs file to my Xamarin PCL project and call my method the exact same way i get the following error:
Unhandled Exception:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Expected element 'ExceptionDetail' in namespace 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.ServiceModel', but found Element node 'AifFault' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/dynamics/2008/01/documents/Fault'

The issue only occurs when AX return an AIFFault Exception and for some reason it cant be caught by Xamarin.. Its caught just fine in Visual Studio in Windows Phone.
Here is the code from making the call:
try{
var result = await _service.ExecuteGetMethod(MyRecord)
}
catch(FaultException fe){
ShowError(fe);
}
This works just fine, and the error message from AX is showed in fe.Message, but running the exact same in Xamarin gives me the above error.
Do i need to add AIFFault somewhere in my WCF service for clients to be able to see it?

EF Core Power Tools EntityFrameworkCore.Design.OperationException suddenly occurring on "Add DbContext Diagram"

I've been using EF Core Power Tools to assist with learning EF Core. The data project is simply a class library that contains the base DbContext used by the associated web app, plus the migrations folder.
It's been working fine until suddenly this error occurs when I "Add DbContext Diagram"
System.InvalidOperationException: Error:
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design.OperationException: Unable to create an object of type 'EventFinderContext'. For the different patterns supported at design time, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=851728

I'm not sure even where to start looking to investigate, so any pointers would be appreciated please. The solution builds okay, the database seems fine, and the associated Blazor project also runs fine.
Not sure if its helpful but in my data project, the constructor for the DbContext is this:
namespace EventFinderData
{
public class EventFinderContext : DbContext
{
public EventFinderContext(DbContextOptions<EventFinderContext> options) : base(options)
{
}
}
}
You have to register EventFinderContext in program.cs
builder.Services.AddDbContext<EventFinderContext>(
opt => opt.UseSqlServer("Your_connection_string"));
As advised by ErikEJ (the author of Power Tools) the diagram function only works on the executable project. Once I had added a web application project to my solution, the original console and data layer projects in that solution no longer worked for creating the diagram.

PrimitiveResourceTypeMap throws exception when trying to use EF as data feed

Short description:
I'm trying to create a WFC data service that will use entity framework to retrieve data from db. The important thing is that the service must be hosted inside sharepoint server. Everything (almost) is ok except that when I'm trying to access deployed service from sharepoint I've got an exception:
The server encountered an error processing the request. The exception message is 'The type initializer for 'System.Data.Services.Providers.PrimitiveResourceTypeMap' threw an exception.'. See server logs for more details. The exception stack trace is:

The same service hosted from normal web app works fine.
Is there anyone that had similar issue and has some clues?
I managed to create fully functional WCF data service hosted inside SharePoint 2013 on premise. I got the exception mentioned in question (as well as many others).
By fully functional I mean that my odata requests with filters from CSOM and java script are properly executed and (auto-magically) results in properly formed queries to SQL server database. Works both http and https.
Here is short description what is necessary to have it all working.
A bunch of dll from nuget needs to be deployed to GAC via SharePoint WSP (here is list which worked for me)
a. EntityFramework.dll 6.1.3 for .Net 4.5
b. EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll 6.1.3 for .Net 4.5
c. Microsoft.Data.Edm.dll 5.6.2
d. Microsoft.Data.OData.dll 5.6.2
e. Microsoft.Data.Services.dll 5.6.2
f. Microsoft.Data.Services.Client.dll 5.6.2
g. Microsoft.OData.EntityFrameworkProvider.dll 1.0.0-beta2
h. System.Spatial.dll 5.6.2
Note: The trick is that there is no direct error that some of these dll’s are missing. The exception from question is displayed when there was no System.Spatial.dll in GAC.
Service should look similar to above:
using System.Data.Services;
using System.Data.Services.Providers;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)]
public class yourService : EntityFrameworkDataService<YourEntities>
{
public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
{
config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.AllRead);
config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("*", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = System.Data.Services.Common.DataServiceProtocolVersion.V3;
}
}
Svc file: YourService.svc should be deployed to dedicated feature folder inside ISAPI SP folder
For http – fragment:
<service behaviorConfiguration="WCFServicesBehavior" name=" Namespace.yourservice ">
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
For https: like in http but use mexHttpsBinding binding
Open your endpoint in browser to check if this is working
http://yoursite.local/_vti_bin/name_of_your_feature/yourservice.svc - should return info about service
http://yoursite.local/_vti_bin/name_of_your_feature/yourservice.svc/Name_of_your_entitySet() – should return all entities of given type
Check in SQL Server Profiler if your odata filters are properly translated to SQL queries

Why is my self hosted Web API service throwing an exception on Windows 2012?

I have an app. I'm working on which self-hosts WebApi. It can run as either a command-line app, or as a Windows service. It's compiled using the .NET 4.5 runtimes.
When I run it on my Windows 7 dev. machine, it works fine.
When I deploy and run as a command-line app on my Windows 2012 server machine, it fails with the exception:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

at Microsoft.Owin.Hosting.WebApp.Start[TStartup](StartOptions options)
My code does this:
url = "http://localhost:5000";
_app = WebApp.Start<WebAppConfiguration>(url);
And the WebAppConfiguration class looks like this:
public class WebAppConfiguration : HttpConfiguration
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilders app)
{
ConfigureRoutes();
ConfigureJsonSerialization();
// This line throws the exception:
app.UseWebApi(this);
}
}
I did some searching and it sounded like I needed to reserve the port using NETSH, so this is what I did from an Admin command prompt:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://localhost:5000/ user=Everyone listen=yes delegate=yes
Unfortunately, I'm still getting the exception. Is there some other step I need to do to get this to work under Windows Server 2012?
EDIT:
The inner exception (which I didn't think to log) contained a much more helpful error. It turns out I was missing an assembly binding entry for Microsoft.Owin in my .config file for Owin. This was in my dev. version but didn't make it into the version on my server.

Code-First Entity Framework - error creating SQL CE DB

I have been using Entity Framework CTP with Code-First as in this tutorial by Scott Guthrie and another by Scott Hanselman (can't post the link, but google "Simple Code First with Entity Framework 4 - Magic Unicorn Feature CTP 4"). This is working perfectly for the main MVC application, but I am now trying to add a testing project, that uses a separate SQL CE Database.
I have added the following to the App.Config file:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyData"
connectionString="Data Source=D:\myProject\myDb.sdf;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
</connectionStrings>
However when I try to run the tests it throws the following error when trying to create the database:
Test method
MyProjet.Tests.Administration.ModlelTests.Business.TestGetBusinessesList

I have tried replacing the existing MyData connection string in the MVC application, and it works fine. It only causes this problem when this is added to the Testing project. Additionally the testing project works without problem when pointed at an SQL or SQL Express Database.
Have been struggling with this for a while now, and just can't figure it out. I am sure I have overlooked something simple.
Try using
Database.DefaultConnectionFactory = new SqlCeConnectionFactory("System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0");
See my blog post for an example http://www.arrangeactassert.com/code-first-entity-framework-unit-test-examples/
I have been running the tests under the Built in Microsoft testing framework. Changing the test framework to NUnit (as in Jag's tutorial) has fixed the problem.
So looks like there is a conflict between SqlServerCe and the Visual Studio Unit Testing Framework.
