Introduction

In this second-part article, I just add a new serialization class and a new method to the webservice described in part one.

Background

Before, we just got a single row information from the webservice, in this case, we can get multiple rows. The technique is I'm using an array here to return results.

Using the code

At the top of the class file, we add our array for simulating the database :)

string[] aUsers = new string[]{"admin","nisse","kalle","Jonas"};

Here is the new serialization class:

[Serializable()]
public class oUserList
{
    public string sName;
    
    public oUserList()
    {
    }

    public oUserList(string sTheName)
    {
        sName = sTheName;
    }

}

And this is the method:

[WebMethod]
public oUserList[] getList()
{
    
    oUserList[] objUserList = new oUserList[aUsers.Length];
    for(int i=0;i<aUsers.Length;i++) 
    {
        objUserList[i] = new oUserList();
        objUserList[i].sName = aUsers[i];
    }
    return objUserList;

}

We also add a new button and a list box in the Flash file. Here is the code for the Click event of the new button:

on(press)
{
    var objGetUsers = _global.webServicen.getList();
    objGetUsers.onResult = function(sResult)
    {
        var oUserList = new objGetUsers.oUsers();
        oUserList = sResult;
        
        myList = new Array();
        _root.lbUserlist.dataProvider = myList;
        
        for(i=0;i<oUserList.length;i++)
        {
            myList.addItem({label: oUserList.getItemAt(i).sName, 
                            data: oUserList.getItemAt(i).sName });
        }
        
    }
    objGetUsers.onFault = function()
    {
        
    }
}
