OK, thanks.  I still suspect error handling, possibly in the Coroutine (which is used internally by both the EqPCV and the Business Application templates), but haven't tested this yet.   We'll do some more testing to see if we can repro with these use cases.

I have done some more testing on this and the problems seems to have gone away.  If I can nail down the issue better, I will let you know.

No coroutines, but yes on using the EntityQueryPagedCollectionView and ASP.net security.

Thanks, Greg.   I'm not able to reproduce the problem, but I suspect our retry logic isn't robust enough, or it's dependent on what the application is doing at the time.  Are you using Coroutines or the EntityQueryPagedCollectionView by any chance?  Or ASP.NET security?

Yes, the client receives an error right afterwards, but it's not the same one.  The client then crashes.  After closing and logging in again, all is fine.  I will recreate the error and then see which error it is exactly.
 
Edit:  The error on the client says:  An error occurred while communicating with the server.  A common cause for this error is a return type from the invoked method which is either not serializable or not marked as a known type.

The error is in some ways "normal", or at least expected.  After a period of inactivity the EntityService and EntityServer services are paged out, and the first request to the EntityServer causes an error.  In the client application DevForce should be intercepting the error and then starting the EntityService again too, and it should be transparent to the client.  If your client application also receives the error and has to take action, let us know.

I get this error message occasionally.  This is from the Windows Event Log.  It seems to occur after a long period of inactivity - in other words, the user is logged in, but steps away from the computer for a period of time and then comes back.
