Consuming Web Service From Console App?
Dec 13, 2010We have a web app that contains web methods. I want to invoke one of those methods from a console app. I am new at this but I wrote a console app, added a service reference and tried to code invoking it. If my web method is called "Transmit", I expected to see Transmit in the namespace I specified but instead I see "TransmitRequest", "TranmsitRequestBody", "TransmitResponse" and "TransmitResponseBody".What are these things?Have I done something wrong?How do I invoke the web method in the web app from the console app?

Java - Consuming Web Service Written For Glassfish: SoapHeaderException?
Feb 25, 2012Wrote a 'webservice' with Netbeans wizard, runs on glassfish. I added a reference using the wsdl to my .NET client, VB if it makes any difference.The issue is a SoapHeaderException.
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderException: com/mysql/jdbc/Connection
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(
SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream,
Boolean asyncCall)
[code]....
I've tried writing the string in a soap envelope, but still receive the same message. So passing a string is kaputt, as it should be; why would the WS know to parse a string, and simply instantiating and calling the method from the object as if it were local isn't working the way I think it does.
Java - Using Certificates In A Client-application Consuming A Web Service
Sep 16, 2010I am implementing a VB.NET desktop application which consumes a web service.
The web service implemented in Java and I currently using Tomcat on my localhost to host the web service.
The web service requires secure communication with the client and so I have followed instructions that outlined how to use Java's keytool.exe to create two .jks keystores (one for the client and one for the server) and then create two .cer certificates (one for the client and one for the server)
I have placed the keystores and certificates generate into the directory where the web service is expecting them (according to the instructions)
I have installed the certificates into TrustedPeople and have attempted to use the certificate by setting the ClientCredentials.ClientCertificates property like this:
myServiceProxy.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(storeLocation.CurrentUser, StoreName.TrustedPeople, X509FindType.FindByIssuerName, "name")
I keep getting the following error message when I try to call any method:
An error was discovered processing the <wsse:Security> header
My problem is that I don't know how to use this in the VB.NET client application that is consuming the web service. I could be doing this completely wrong.

Type Being Passed Through Web Service Not Being Recognized By Consuming Code
Mar 22, 2012I am creating an XML web service that passes an array of custom types. In my consuming code I am referencing the code as a web reference which I have given the namespace MYWS. Now in code I am trying to assign the results of my web service call to an array of my type like so..[code]When I do this the complier complains, saying: "Value of 1 dimensional array of my.namespace.MyClass cannot be converted to 1 dimensional array of my. namespace. MYWS.MyClass because my.namespace.MYSW.MyClass is not derived from my.namespace.MyClass"Now I understand the message, the thing is they are the same class. The class is declared in my calling code by the web service references a dll from that project. How do I tell the compiler that these are the same type?

View 1 Replies.net - .NET XML Web Service, Consuming Class Not Able To Access Web Service Class?
Mar 21, 2012I am creating a simple XML web service and have run into something I can't quite explain.My web service class has the following structure :
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports System.ComponentModel
[code]....
Invoking my method using the built in VS web service test harness works fine. I created another project, in another solution, to test consuming the web service. I added a web reference to my project and set it so I could reference my web service by using "localWS". Then in the page load event of my consuming class I tried to instantiate an object of my web service:
Dim srv As New localWS.MyWS
But there was no "MyWS" type found. There is however a localWS.MyWSSoapClient class. When I use it I can invoke my web methods. My question is, why can't I create a straight up version of MyWS class? In the tutorials I'v read, and in the book I have, example consuming classes for .NET XML web services can instantiate objects of the web service class they are consuming. As a further test I added a new web form to my web service project and from there I was able to instantiate a MyWS class.
.net - Call Web Service Using Client Certificates / Mutual Authentication?
Mar 23, 2012I'm building a web service client using vb .net. The web service is secured with ssl, basic authentication and also requires client certificates. So I created a web reference in Visual Studio and provided the credentials:
Dim cred As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("usr", "passwd")
Dim proxy As New SimpleFromLocal.simple
proxy.Credentials = cred
Console.WriteLine(proxy.helloWorld())
This works as expected, as long as I turn off mutual authentication on the server side.I added a client certificate like this:
Dim cert As X509Certificate = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(certFile)proxy.ClientCertificates.Add(cert)
The certificate is loaded, but the web service call fails. I could post the exception, but it is in german, which is an issue on its own. It basically says: Authentication failed, because the remote site closed the connection.I tried debugging the ssl handshake on the server side and it looks like the client certificate is not transmitted.So what am I missing here? Is it required to install the client certificate on the local machine?Edit: The error thrown:

In this instance, all images are fully qualified urls, so the first section of the method is what is doing the conversion.[code]

C# - Which Datatype For Base64 Encoded Image
Jul 29, 2010Question: In order to store logos in a database and display them dynamically in ms-reporting service, I need to base64 encode the image. It doesn't work with binary saved images, due to MS limitations...
Now my question: Which datatype do I use? Varchar, nvarchar or text? I guess varchar would be good enough, since base64 encoded, but images might be larger than 4000 characters...

Convert Base64-encoded Text To Hexadecimal?
Dec 19, 2011I have come across some Base64 conversion functions in .net(FromBase64.string etc). What i want is, for a sample, i have a base 64 encoded string as
"48YwojCi4yaiow==".
I need to convert this string to the corresponding Hexadecimal text(The sample stands for "Thisistest" in hex text) The below link is an online converter from base64 to hexadecimal text. If you give the same base64 encoded data in the link , click on convert, the one that is seen below "Hexadecimal text" is what I need.

Is there a standard library function in vb.net which does this? Converting a base 64 data to a hexadecimal text?
Inflating A Base64 String: Zlib Error: 3
Feb 8, 2012My app receives a PDF as a base64, zLib deflated string in an xml file. At least that's the format I'm told it is in. It gets stored in a database, then I need to recreate the PDF from that string. I created a test app to figure it out. The function below takes the string and is supposed to return it in a decoded, inflated format which I believe I'll be able to use to rebuild the original PDF (I'm not there yet). I've done lots of research and found a few different libraries and ways to do this as well as received a java program from the developer who is sending me the PDF to use as an example. However I can not get the string to a usable format. Using the ManagedZLib.dll and the function below seems to get me the closest. As far as I can tell from debugging, everything works until I try to decompress:
zStream.Read(decompressedBytes, 0, decodedBytes.Length - 1)
This produces a "zLib error: -3". The only info I can find on that error is it is a 'data error'. There is very little other information on the web about it.
Public Function DecompressString4(ByVal origString As String) As String
Dim returnString = Nothing

Base64 - Decrypt The String Returned Back From SagePay?
Jan 25, 2011I have been having some problems trying to decrypt the string returned back from SagePay.I used their asp.net kit which included the encrypt and decrypt functions using base64 - sending the information to SagePay is not a problem but I am having a number of problems trying to descrypt the string.Here is the function I am using to descypt:
Private Function base64Decode(ByVal strEncoded As String) As String
Dim iRealLength As Integer
Dim strReturn As String
Dim iBy4 As Integer

I don't think the web server is trying to encode anything as there are no + symbols within the url string and I have just glanced over the two to compair they are the same.This returns a blank string whereas when I use the sections commented out in the first loop i get a really weired string back and when I use their simpleXor function it just returns complete nonsense.

I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a

It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.
