WCF / ASMX :: How To Pass The Parameters Into Webservice Method
Jan 4, 2011
i am working in the webservice project. I have one project when i run it then shows the text box for parameters and return the result after passing the parameters.
But another webservice does not allow me to enter the paramerters when execute then list of methods displayed and then show the soap xml when click at any method.
what difference found in both webserivces are Excuting-one that have the Text boxes: Test: "To test the operation using the HTTP POST protocol, click the 'Invoke' button."
2nd One Not provide the parameter text boxes: Test: "The test form is only available for methods with primitive types as parameters"
Dont know how to fix that. Because i want to debug the webservice and as i am unable to provide the parameter then how can i fix it.
how can i pass the parameters in the 2nd webservice as it has different information mentioned above.
i have the following method, however i want to pass methods to it, i know how to do it the usual way, however when it comes to Webservices/API's what is the correct way to do it. Here is my method so far;
I am consuming a web service in .aspx with a added web reference that links to http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx After this, I can get the result from ebServiceX.StockQuote ws = new WebServiceX.StockQuote();String xmlString = s.GetQuote("XOM"); I am wondering how I can call the web service like GET, http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx/GetQuote?symbol=XOM+BAC
I have a fundamental question to ask about web services. I'm currently writing a service that has custom classes (lots of them). Let's say a car is one example. For some reason I was thinking that the service should expose these objects. However once I created a site to consume the service, it looks as though the classes are not meant to be exposed. It looks like the best practice is to take in a string which may be xml or not and convert that string into the object in the service code.(especially for error handling or input validation)
For example, if I had the web method:
[WebMethod] public car getCar(int carId) { //code here to return car object }
This will take a car ID and return a car object. It also shows all the elements in the SOAP request and response objects (as well as the WSDL) which can be to external developers. However, when trying to consume the service from a website (or reference it in my code), I then need access to the Car class (which implies i need to expose it through the services as well?).
In my application I want to send an audio file (.mp3) as binary string through XML webservice, and save the binary data as audio file in server. In this case what should be the structure of XML file and how can I convert this incoming binary sting to audio file in webservice code.
Currently I tried a structure like the following
<XML> <Files> <File> <FileName>audio_123.mp3</FileName> <FileType>audio</FileType> <FileData>![CDATA[ - binary data goes here -]]</FileData> </File> </Files> </XML>
I am creating a Web Service, which will be used by a client to send data to our Database.The client will be sending close to 30 fields that will be updated to our table. If I write a Web method, I will need to have all these 30 fields as parameters to that method. Is there a better way than sending all of them as parameters?
For example, we are going to consume web method GetEmployeeByQuery(ConnInfoXML, Query, RecordDetail), ConnInfoXML is login information in XML, Query is a SQL statement selecting records, RecordDetail is all records retrieved. All data are in XML format.
So how to write these parameters in XML to consume this web method and get all the information in XML, and then transfer XML to normal string format ?
We're developing a business ASP.NET application. Is it better to pass an entire entity to a method or pass each property of this entity as parameters? What is the best practice?
Case 1. Pass Customer entity to a manager - InsertCustomer(Customer cust) Case 2. Pass each property as a parameter - InsertCustomer(string name, string address...etc)
I am a newbie to ASP.NET (but not to C#)I have a project I am developing that may seem unconventional at this point but it is a project that I hope to eventually expand and provide a new type of service on the internet. Currently the project makes use of an Excel spreadsheet that is generated by another application I wrote. Basically the spreadsheet is an index to a specific type of file that exists on a host computer and the files are directly linked from within the excel document. When the link is clicked it opens the file using the operating system default program which then processes the file (this takes some time).
This is fine and dandy but when I click on another file, the default program immediately stops processing one file and opens the latest submission and thus interrupting the previous job. To prevent this I am now writing a queuing application. Here is where ASP.NET comes in. I do not want the link to open the queuing application with the file to add into the queue as a parameter because that pops one or more nnoying/scary "you are opening an executable" dialogs and because I want to be able to access the queuing service from a remote computer, and possibily in the future over the web. Instead I am trying to use an ASP.NET service application that will accept the name of a file as a parameter, access the external queue class (defined in an external dll of which only one universal instance is allowed), and add the request to the queue. Whether or not the table is an excel table or on a web page, using a form in this instance is tedious, not only for me but for a user. I want the user to be able to simply click on an html link and have the file be queued without anything except maybe a confirmation page pop up saying that the file has been queued and it will take x amount of time before the file is finished processing.
My problem is I cannot for the life of me find a way to do this. I have searched the interenet for over a week now looking for a way to call a "WebMethod" using a link and I am getting the impression that it cannot be done. Even when I use a form and try to have the form pass a string (representing the file name) as its "action" it comes up with an application error saying that I am missing the parameter I am trying to pass. Here are some examples of what I have tried:Here an example method I would try to access:
[Code]....
Here is an example of how I tried to access directly by way of a link (which results in an application error: InvalidOperationException)"
I'm calling PageMethod "SameMethod" from javascript method "caller" so that I can get some values from DB. After I get values, control is continuing in "onSuccess" method. Problem is that I need to use some variable values ("importantValue") from javascript method "caller" in "onSuccess" method.
function caller(){ var importantValue = 1984; PageMethod.SomeMethod(param1,..., onSuccess, onFailure) }
onSuccess method should be something like this:
function onSuccess(pageMethodReturnValue, importantValue ){ }
Is it possible and, if it is, how to pass multiple parameters (besides return values of page method) to "onSuccess" method of PageMethod?
have a working ASP.NET 3.5 webservice that accepts standard POST requests using an encoding type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I then added a method which needs to accept an uploaded file. We change the encoding type of the request to multipart/form-data so that we can get the file data and now we receive the following error:System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is invalid: multipart/form-data
I would like to pass xml document to a method in WCF service by client that server will get xmldocument,parse it and send back the xml response.What are best practice for thi?The xml document is conform to XSD so i would like to create managed type that represent the schema and then expose thatIf anybody has done it before or know any example please point it out so i can see it.
I am trying to implement WCF Method where client has to pass like "abcxyz" as a string i have to capture it and pass to my method. I am not able to do it. In our application we can split the string and we can do what ever we can do . but string comes from client site so who do i capture into my method. I am very much new in WCF.
I have datatable consist of 20 records and i want to bulk insert into sqlserver through the asmx webservice. Can anybody guide to me or provide Sample BusinessLogic and webservice code.
Since ASP.NET MVC3 RC2 I encounter a bug when posting values to a controller method of which one of the parameter is a nullable int. Steps to reproduce:
I've created a test method
[code]....
In MVC3 RC1 this was working without any problems with the nullable int
Update: I don't seem to have the problem with a newly created MVC3 website. What could I have in my project that influence model binding to nullable int's? And why would there be a difference between RC1 and RC2?
I have an ObjectDataSource that I want to perform updates using a business entity i.e. Type="Object"). Since the values for the entity are within a user control, I have stored a reference to the control in Session and in the updating event, set the new instance to the value of the entity from the user contol property (which also pulls values from the form viaother properties of the control):
Protected Sub MasterDataSource_Updating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs) Handles MasterDataSource.Updating Dim entity As New Login() Dim accountControl As AccountInfo = TryCast(Session("AccountCtrl"), AccountInfo) entity = accountControl.Entity e.InputParameters.Add("entity", entity) End Sub
My question is, how can I get the update method to pass this entity to the update method in my BLL class? It seems the Update method requires an ID or reference to the original object to use in determining whether any changes have taken place, but I don't really want to do this. In other words, I just want to use the Update event on my ObjectDataSource to pass my entity to the method ("Update") I set as a property and then let this business method handle the update of the data. Shown below, is the BLL update method I want to call:
Public Overloads Function Update(ByVal entity As Login) If entity Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("entity") End If MyBase.Update("UpdateLogin", entity.Username, entity.Password, entity.FirstName, entity.LastName, entity.Role, entity.Region, _ entity.Email, entity.Title, entity.TierID, entity.Street, entity.City, entity.State, entity.Zip, entity.Mobile, entity.Phone, entity.Fax) End Function
When I try to call this as it stands now, I get an error: ObjectDataSource 'MasterDataSource' could not find a non-generic method 'Update' that has parameters: ID, entity. Previously, I'd set up a long list of parameters of basic data types (string, int, boolean), but this is rather cumbersome and I was hoping to use an entity for this (FYI, I also got the same type of error when I tried this approach, but with the ID as the last parameter in the list). Perhaps what I'm doing here is atypical to how the ODS is normally used?? Has anyone done something like this successfully?
I am using PHP web service in dot net [URL]I set the name of web service as Test but when I am trying to access object test I was not able to use that, is there is any other method to use PHP webservice.
I was looking for an asp.net webservice that uses .net 4.0 but everytime I choose 4.0 the webservice choice goes away.Someone suggested to me that maybe they(MS) want you to use WCF instead. I don't know much about it but he said they are like webservices but better. So anyone got a comparisons guide?
I have certificate(abcd.rar) , which I need to include when I call that web service from asp.net application, Some one tell me how do I implement certificate into my application, certificate is with file extention .rar
