Consuming Web Services - Going From A Manual Method To An Automatic One Using Third Party Provided WSDL
Feb 24, 2009
We have a small VB.net application that basically pulls information from our dBase and then exports this information to an .xls file. From this .xls file, in house agents then manually update a third party listing service (which maintains our current inventory) with the information contained within. The information is very basic, consisting of, for ease of discussion, a 'Part Number', a 'Description' and a 'Quantity On Hand.'
Normally we update this information once a week, but, a newly revised contract with this listing service now requires a daily update to maintain our 'platinum' vendor status.The problem is that it can take quite some time to manually update this information. an automated process is in dire need. And I have finished most of the ground-work and coding - up to a point. Hence the question, and hence where I get stuck.The listing service has provided us with the following WSDL's: One for Increasing our Inventory, one for Decreasing our inventory, one for Adding inventory and one for Removing Inventory.
Up to this point, I have re-programmed a Stored Procedure that was generating the exported information. this SP now does some internal math to figure out if a transaction result occurring on 'yesterday' was an 'Increase', a 'Decrease', an 'Add' or a 'Remove.' These results are then added to a result table under a newly created column named 'SERVICE.' This new information is then pulled from the dBase with vb.net and imported into a Data Table for analysis.
With this Data Table, I can now loop through each row, looking in the column 'SERVICE' and depending on the information contained in that cell, call the appropriate web service.
[Code]...
I realize that this has become quite long winded, mostly because on any given day I have 25 FF tabs open and none of them agreeing with each other. To add another wrinkle; the WSDL's in question use a lot of complex types within complex types with, you guessed it, other complex types entwined.
I am testing web services in .NET for the first time. I am almost there, but I can't seem to consume the web service. I know this post is similar to about 5-6 other posts on this site, but I have reviewed them, and still can't get the syntax correct.So far, I have:Create a simple web service that creates a directoryWorked in development environment, but took some trouble shooting to get to work on live server I can pull up the "automagically" generated .NET we service page.Added web service reference - can now see the reference in my solution explorer and in intellisense.
We are using an application provided by a third party. We applied their hotfix and are now receiving the error below. So far they haven't been able to provide us with a solution/answer as to why this is happening and how to fix it. They say we are the first customers with this problem.
Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: BC30560: 'FileSystemObject' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Scripting'.

I thought maybe the .net forum here will be able to guide me on how to solve the scripting error.
I have two ASMX web services consumed from javascript. The first service performs a long operation and updates a database table on its progress. The second service polls that same database table in order to report the progress to the end user via a progress bar.
My problem is that the long process seems to be blocking the polling service. When I log the activity of the javascript, it seems to be requesting the long service correctly, and then starts to request the polling service once a second asynchronously (note: the long process is asynch as well). Both request types either use setInterval or setTimeout which shouldn't halt the browser. Yet when I look at the activity of the javascript, none of the responses from the polling requests return until the long process completes. So it seems the long process is blocking the polling requests until it's done.
I have a self-hosted WCF service (VB) residing on a server. This service has a method, which I call from another application, that is supposed to kick off a .cmd file which calls a 3rd party program.
My WCF has used both the old Shell() command and the Process() object. Both can call the .cmd file (located on the server's local drive). The .cmd file looks like this:
CODE:
Now I know the .cmd file (saved as Letter.cmd) is firing because when I check the txt file after testing my app, the before/after statements have been written. However, the 3rd party application does not start.
Now the weird part -- if I double click the cmd file from explorer, the test statements are written to the text file AND the 3rd party application kicks off. Runs great.
I've double-checked the application and corresponding files to make sure NETWORK_SERVICE has permissions and my service is running under that account.
I want to access a 3rd Party application in the background with the SendMessage method. It just needs to send a "space" to the software to trigger an action. It is important that this is done in the background because its a periodic event (ca. every 10 seconds), and it should be possible to simultaneously work on the same machine.
I tried to use the same approach which is shown in [URL]
The code I used is as follows:
Const WM_CHAR = &H102 Const BM_CLICK As Long = &HF5& Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd
I a ready all WSDL file to may client from add web reference,from i will se the method from WSDL file.but this first time i using WSDL file.can help me to call this method?they gime the output and WSDL file.can help write in vb.net to call from this output.[code]
I know how to send a SOAP request using the web reference, but I'd like to know how to programmatically create a SOAP request using the WSDL. I'm looking for something that would make this:
I have to query once an hour to a remote web server to recieve data. However the remote web site does not use web services and state in thier 300+ page document that:
Although SOAP is a recognized Web Services API, the RTO web server does not offer a web services interface. That is, there is no Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file available for usage by participant web services client software.
So my question is how do send a soap request and get a response without the use of a WSDL?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to access a web service in vb.net 2010? Im trying to figure out how but the interface has changed since vb.net 2005 and 2008 and i havent found any updated web service sample code. Anyone got a simple web service code
sample somewhere i can look at to see how its done in vb.net 2010?Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to
I am a complete Newbie to VB.NET and am migrating up from VB4, so please forgive my mistakes.I am trying to create a proxy class using the WSDL tool included in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I have managed to create the file successfully through WSDL tool, and then am able to add this file as an item in my VB project, however, the file that is added, comes up with 11 errors that I am not familiar with. The command I am using to create the file with WSDL tool is as follows:
wsdl /l:vb /protocol:soap http://direct.racetab.com.au/LiveOdd...gin/Login.wsdl This creates a file called Login, however it creates it, inside the folder that the WSDL tool is located in, which happens to be:Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v6.0A/bin I then go to the solution explorer and right click the 'My Project' folder and select ADD>Existing Item, and then navigate it to the file that was just created.
This creates a new item in my solution explorer called Login.vb however, as soon as it is created, I get 9 errors and 2 warnings, that absolutely confuse the hell out of me, and all point to this new item 'Login.vb'
[Code]...
I am doing wrong, what I have forgotten to do, or how I can work to get around this problem? If I need to supply any more information, please let me know what you need to know. Also, if it helps, the only method that I plan to use from the above file is the GETKEY(userName, password) method.
I have set of WCF web services that I need to generate a Windows based test client. Does anyone know of a tool that will take as WSDL and auto generate some basic forms based on what is in the WSDL. Any thoughts as to how I can get a basic form with fields/labels without having to explicitly make a form.
I have been trying to generate a Proxy class in VB.NET using a WSDL file for an Apache Axis SOAP Web Service. They have provided me the WSDL file and when I use the WSDL.exe command (In Visual Studio 08) and point it to the local path I get an error. wsdl /language:vb c:Orders.wsdl (I am trying to create a .NET Client that consumes the SOAP Web Service Hosted on Apache Axis 2)
The Error Unable to import binding 'OrdersSoapBinding' from namespace 'urn:company:orders:schemas:OrderTypes:1.00'. -Unable to import operation 'placeOrder' -The element 'urn:company:remtp:schemas:PlaceOrderRequest:1.00:PlaceOrderRequest' is missing If I use the svcutil.exe I also get an error message... svcutil.exe C:Orders.wsdl /t:code /l:VB /o:"C:Orders.VB"
I'm building some web service application based on wsdl schema. I don't know how to create array based on this schema. Array should collect data from Form where textboxes are bound to db table where they are stored as:
We are developing a webservice for a client. We are not supose to throw SoapExceptions, so instead, we catch every exception server side, and return a custom Exception class.
Public Class Order ... End Class
[Code]....
The problem now is, that since my webmethod is returning the type [Object]. The wdsl that is generated does not contain the order, or the exception.
I can change the [Object] to [Order] Or [MyException], but only one of them is generated in the wsdl.
I want both the MyException type and the Order type in my wsdl, but i just cant get it working.
script on various Operating Systems like Windows2000Professional,Windows2000Server, WindowsXPProfessional. Having exactly the sameconfiguration, on some machines it works absolutely fine and on some itgives following error.

I have a webservice being consumed in the WinForm application. I generated a web service wrapper and invoked a web service method asynchronously. I get following exception in my result completed event handler (the event is raised from within the web service wrapper class).
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid. Check InnerException for exception details. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server
We 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?

It was working fine now this is just started to appear, i have went back as far as i can where i only have that line of code and it still appears.
I have a WCF Service (with installer) that I have built and installed in Windows Services. Opened up Admin Tools, Services, and started the service without a problem. So now I'm beginning a new project (a simple Windows forms app). I want to consume my new WCF, but have no idea how. I can't seem to add a reference / add a service reference to it.
I need to call a web service from .Net and the web service is authenticted through Base64 authentication.I tried with Web service proxy and it is failed.
I have written below console application in VB.net. My intention is to write an application that triggers every one minute and perform some task. But when I run this application it is consuming 50% of CPU.
Consider a MyForm class that contains a shadowed implementation of Show(). It also contains a CreateForm() method, which accepts an instance of the form and calls the shadowed sub:
