need help with connecting to web service

Arucard

Hi all,

I try to connect my windows form application (c#) to webservice and got problems.

My WS looks like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;

///

/// Summary description for ediag
///

[WebService(Namespace = "http://localhost/ws/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class ediag : System.Web.Services.WebService {

    public ediag () {

        //Uncomment the following line if using designed components
        //InitializeComponent();
    }

    [WebMethod]
    public string GetVersion() {
        return "2.0.1";
    }

}

So when i go via IE on: http://localhost:1716/admin/ws/ediag.asmx i got:

The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description.

GetVersion

In WF i click on Add Service Reference past link to ediag.asmx click on GO and press OK. So now i got ServiceReference1 in my program.
And now how to use it?

regards,
a.

Ok, it works now.

        public static string GetVersion()
        {
            using (var svc = new ServiceReference1.ediagSoapClient("ediagSoap"))
            {
                return svc.GetVersion();
            }
        }

All code of my webservice is in my first post.
Name of reference is in first post too: ServiceReference1.

I don't know what else i can write to help investigate why it doesn't work in my WF app. :(

Mabye this:

In ServiceReference1 i've got (when i write name, after that . and wait a while i got list - how is this feature called?)
.ediagSoap (interface program.ServiceReference1.ediagSoap)
.ediagSoapChannel (interface program.ServiceReference1.ediagSoapChannel)
.ediagSoapClient (class program.ServiceReference1.ediagClient)
.GetVersionRequest (class program.ServiceReference1.GetVersionRequest)
.GetVersionRequestBody (class program.ServiceReference1.GetVersionRequestBody)
.GetVersionResponse (class program.ServiceReference1.GetVersionResponse)
.GetVersionResponseBody (class program.ServiceReference1.GetVersionResponseBody)

We have to know what name you used in your webservice and how you added it as reference.

What was it's name when you added it as reference?

Now i got:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'ediag' does not exist in the namespace 'programm.ServiceReference1' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Jan Montano17y ago
Try this instead:

ServiceReference1.ediag ediag = new ServiceReference1.ediag();

string version = ediag.GetVersion();

When i do as you wrote:

            ServiceReference1 reference = new ServiceReference1();
            string version = reference.GetVersion();

i get:

Error    1    'program.ServiceReference1' is a 'namespace' but is used like a 'type'

just create and instance of the webservice you are using

and that instance.method will allow you to call the methods in that webservice.

Thanks,

It should be something like:

ServiceReference1 reference = new ServiceReference1();

string version = reference.GetVersion();
