"Specified argument was out of the range of valid values" when starting broker

[stu60610]

What version of PushSharp are you using?

PushSharp v3.0.1.0

Describe your issue:

I'm trying to send an APNS notification, it works fine in Console Program. But when I try to use it on my ASP.NET website and call the function "broker.Start();", the broker just can't start. And Got a exception like this:

"Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: creationOptions"

Hope someone can help, thanks.

I'm really not sure if this is entirely related to PushSharp... I don't have any methods with that parameter name, and not really sure how you would have got the exception.

You'll need to provide a full stack trace at this point.

I also get this issue at my Production Server. Here is the stack trace.

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

// Start the broker

I had the same issue with PushSharp 4.0

After upgrading .NET from .4.0 to 4.5 the problem disappeared
