RantThe joys of working with third parties... Pin

So last week I had to get some data from some third party SOAP service.
They sent me some WSDL and XSD files that I could work with and use to generate a C# client.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I was missing some types...
One email later I got a missing XSD file that was supposed to fix the problem.
It fixed some problems, but a few still remained.
Another email, but according to them everything was fine.
I made a phone call, but they couldn't really help me as I didn't have a support contract, but they could tell me to try and run it in SoapUI.
Fine, SoapUI it is, of course that also didn't work.
I emailed the SoapUI screenshots and mentioned that my WSDL and XSDs were all in the same folder.
Their reply was that it looked like my WSDL and XSDs weren't in the same folder.
So anyway, I found that one of the XSDs contained the still missing types, but the XSD wasn't referenced in the WSDL, so I added it myself.
Now SoapUI worked, but I still couldn't generate C# code.
So again, I sent an email to the supplier and attached all my WSDLs and XSDs including the one I manually changed and explained that seemed to work, but not completely.
They tested their own WSDL that I sent them and concluded that, indeed, it didn't work.
They then sent me a new WSDL with just one change, the one I manually made to their WSDL... Oh, and that XSD that I was missing in the first place went missing again! (Luckily I still had that)

Good for nothing b**** a** m************ Mad | :mad:
To be continued next week... Sigh | :sigh:

I really hope we won't need a support contract because the only reason we need that in the first place is because they can't deliver a proper WSDL!
Oh, and their website only works on IE (and then only half of it) WTF | :WTF:
