In your project add a web-reference to that WSDL, that will create a proxy around and voila...

sudevsu 9-Feb-15 11:08am

I have added this wsdl in my project. But I don't know how to consume it

Kuthuparakkal 9-Feb-15 11:12am

What's the source of that WDSL, it should be a url. So copy the Url and create a service reference and paste the url. VS would create a class (proxy) for it. Now consume the class like anyother class

sudevsu 9-Feb-15 11:53am

"Now consume the class like any other class"
This where I am stuck. How do I consume the class ?
I have url
http://apps.test.tire-hq.com/thq/services.asmx/submitAdjustment.wsdl
When I add webreference I can see only one method SubmitAdjustment()
I created an object for it and passed values to that method. Now How do I know that it is submitted and how I do get a response?

sudevsu 9-Feb-15 13:57pm

I am doing this way and nothing happens. Can you help me with this?
Dim myws As New service1.SubmitAdjustmentRequest

Dim par = myws.adjustment

par.address1 = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CIADDR").ToString().Trim()
par.city = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CICITY").ToString().Trim()
par.custEmail = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CIEMAIL").ToString().Trim()
par.custName = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CIFN").ToString().Trim() + " " + dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CILN").ToString().Trim()
par.custPhone = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CIPHONE").ToString().Trim()
par.postalCode = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CIZIP").ToString().Trim()
par.dealerNonsigNbr = "0000134089"
par.docNbr = "0134785"
par.naNbr = "0000134089"
par.stateProv = dsCust.Tables(0).Rows(0)("CISTATE").ToString().Trim()
par.vehicleID = dsVeh.Tables(0).Rows(0)("VIVVIN").ToString().Trim()
par.vehicleMake = dsVeh.Tables(0).Rows(0)("VIVMAKE").ToString().Trim()
par.vehicleModel = dsVeh.Tables(0).Rows(0)("VIVMODEL").ToString().Trim()
par.vehicleYear = dsVeh.Tables(0).Rows(0)("VIVYEAR").ToString().Trim()

Solution 1

Hi,

Follow below steps.
1) Create a service (webService/WCF).And copy the Service wsdl URl's similar to "http:-----/Service1.svc?wsdl"
2) Go to your Windows application's Solution Explorer. Right Click on your Project.
3) Select "Add Service Reference".
4) "Add Service Reference" dialogue box opens. Paste the URL of WSDL url you copied from service.
5)Click on "Go" button. You will find all the WebMethods in the service.
6) Rename Servicename in Name space text box to a meaningful service name.
7) Click "OK" button. You are done..!

Now use service name space you entered while adding in your windows application programming.

C#

MyService.Service1Client serv = new MyService.Service1Client();
            string s = serv.GetData(32);

thank you. But this not what I am looking for. After doing all these. I got my service in my application. But I want to know How to call the function and get response of it.

sudevsu 9-Feb-15 12:55pm

How do I know function accepted parameters and it is doing something and gives me a result?

Shridhar Gowda 9-Feb-15 13:27pm

In the above example I given, function getdata() is in web service. It returns a string "you entered 32". U can view it in a messagebox.

sudevsu 9-Feb-15 13:55pm

Thank you. Can you look at my WSDL and tell me if I can call <wsdl:input name="SubmitAdjustmentRequest" message="tns:SubmitAdjustmentRequest">
<wsdl:output name="SubmitAdjustmentResponse" message="tns:SubmitAdjustmentResponse">
methods.
Input for Parameters and Output for response?

Shridhar Gowda 10-Feb-15 1:41am

Hi Sudevsu, WSDL is nothing to do with developer. WSDL is for client application to understand and generate service proxy. If you follow the 7 steps I mentioned, it will create the proxy and update the web.config automatically. When you create the object of this proxy and call the function in it, proxy will communicate with service and return you the result.

I did all that Shridhar. I get a web exception error with empty response. Same code in windows application acts differently with error Invalid User name and password.
My concern is When I click on asmx link on web browser it prompts for User name and password and validates perfectly fine. But with WSDL it doen't. May be I should Header with user name and password. But What I am doing now is just giving Network credentials. I don't know how to pass Soap Header. Searched a lot but ended up with no solution for my problem till date. Thanks for explaining it again.

sudevsu · Accepted Answer · 2015-02-13T03:00:00

Solution 2

My WS doesn't have SOAP Headers. So I created a library file with Soap Header and called that dll in my web.config file and there you go it worked. There after I created an object for the service I added already using Add Web reference and passed the parameters.
