Hi,

I am new to web services which are part of std LN Application.
I would like to call the wsdl methods from .Net application.
Can any one help to achieve this?

e.g: I have Area wsdl in the server which having Show and List method's
then how to call these methods using .Net application.

You are asking a very broad question thats difficult to answer. This is the process I normally follow:

- Develop BDE and generate WSDL
- Publish WSDL in the Connector for Webservices
- Test the WSDL using any WSDL 2.0 compliant tool like SOAPUI or other
- Once you import the WSDL into SoapUI and do the test, it will be very clear for you which methods to use and how
- Then you just repeat the same within .NET
- The trick within .NET is to make sure you get the request and response message mapping exactly right as done in SoapUI - this is where things generally go wrong.

You need some kind of Baan tools knowledge - you cannot be a pure .NET programmer who doesnt know Baan tools to be successful.

Hi Surya,

Thanks for replay.

I have already tested this wsdl with soapUI and i am able execute the methods successfully.

Now i am trying to use same wsdl in .Net, i have added this wsdl as a web reference.
Now i need a sample code which calls these methods from .Net.

I have Baan Tools Knowledge but i am new to open world wsdl.

Hi,

the rest is actually plain vanilla dot.net! Here a sample of a client program:


WinApp.cs
using System;
using System.IO;

namespace SvcConsumer{
class SvcEater
{
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
FirstService mySvc = new FirstService();

Console.WriteLine("Calling Hello World Service: " +
mySvc.SayHello());
Console.WriteLine("Calling Add(2, 3) Service: " +
mySvc.Add(2, 3).ToString());
}
}
}


You have to replace "FirstService" with your Service name and the methods "SayHello()" and "Add()" with your methods show() & List()!

Hi vahdani,

I have Area wsdl file .
Now i tried with follwoing code but i am facing issue.

Dim a As New areawsdl.AreaService
Dim str As String = ""
Dim req As New areawsdl.ShowRequestType

Try
req.DataArea.Area.areaCode = "KL"
'ab.Area = "KL"
str = a.Url()
str = a.Show(req).ToString
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try

I am facing issue for follwoing statement
<b> req.DataArea.Area.areaCode = "KL"</b>
object instance is not set

Please find the attachment of Area wsdl file.
