FIX: A client application that is running on a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based device may report an "E_OUTOFMEMORY" error code when the client calls a web service that is hosted on a remote server

Consider the following scenario. You run a web client application on a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based device. The client application calls a web service that is hosted on a remote server. In this scenario, the web service may report the following error code:
Note The E_OUTOFMEMORY error code indicates insufficient memory to complete the operation.

This problem occurs because of an incorrect implementation in the encoding style check before SOAP envelope creation.

No encoding attribute is set for a web service operation that is hosted on a remote server. Therefore, the encoding of the remote operation is not parsed during Web Services Description Language (WSDL) parsing. When the encoding is not parsed, a NULL pointer is created. The remote operation does not check whether the pointer is valid. However, the remote operation calls the SysAllocString function anyway to allocate memory. Therefore, an E_OUTOFMEMORY error code is reported when a function checks the return value of the memory allocation.
