I'm trying to do some very simple VMware development with SDK 5.0 connecting to an ESXi4.1.0 server. I generated the WSDL and set up the SimpleClient in the SDK to use the Services 2.5 Assembly. The app compiles and runs, and returns data. But the line in SimpleClient:
// Connect to the Service sc.Connect(args[0], args[1], args[2]); takes about 3 minutes (not exaggerating, I timed it 3 times) to execute in Debug mode in Visual Studio 2010. In release mode, there does not seem to be an improvement in performance. Once past this line, the actual return of data is much quicker: about 6 seconds. I did pull the generated cert down from the ESXi server and installed it on my client machine (Windows Server 2008 R2) Our ESXi server has only one VM set up on it, and is only set up for dev purposes. It is minimally loaded. Any ideas? I'm brand new to VMWare, so make no assumptions that I have already checked the dohickeys and gabberfloppies. Thanks
