Hi,
I need to add a new category. I am calling the Magento Web services and using the below code:

VB

Dim intCategory As Integer 
Dim mService As New MagentoService.MagentoService 
Dim sessionID = mService.login(\"Keyideas\", \"testing\") 
Dim cat As New MagentoService.catalogCategoryEntityCreate 
cat.name = General.Name 
cat.description = General.Description 
cat.meta_keywords = General.MetaKeywords 
cat.is_active = 1 
cat.meta_description = General.MetaDescription 
intCategory = mService.catalogCategoryCreate(sessionID, 3, cat, \"\") 
Return intCategory

But at runtime I am getting the error as Attribute "is_active" is required

Please suggest me. ~~Its very urgent for me~~
Thanks
Vikas

Noone cares how urgent it is.

If you want support for it, contact the people who supply the service you're connecting to. It is VERY unlikely anyone who has used this service is going to see your question around here.

'you nee to use is_activeSpecified = true and include menu
'change your code like the following and will work perfectly

VB

Dim intCategory As Integer 
Dim mService As New MagentoService.MagentoService 
Dim sessionID = mService.login(\"Keyideas\", \"testing\") 
Dim cat As New MagentoService.catalogCategoryEntityCreate 
cat.name = General.Name 
cat.description = General.Description 
cat.meta_keywords = General.MetaKeywords 
cat.is_active = 1 
cat.meta_description = General.MetaDescription
cat.is_activeSpecified = True
cat.include_in_menu = 1
cat.include_in_menuSpecified = True
intCategory = mService.catalogCategoryCreate(sessionID, 3, cat, \"\") 
Return intCategory
