WCF / ASMX :: VS 2008 - Consuming A Web Service As A Business Object
Jun 30, 2010
I'm fairly new to .NET development so I might be missing something very simple here. I'm trying to set up a web service as a data item so that I can bind it to a control on my page. I was reading some tutorials about doing this in an earlier version which seemed very simple. All you had to do was add the web reference, create a data source and use the object type, pick the web service and enter the name of the call that would retrieve the data.
In 2008 the object data source type doesn't seem to be available anymore when creating a new item unde app_data. I get options for SQL Server, XML and XML schema. I've tried adding an existing source and picking each of the files generated for my web service reference, with no success. I suspect that I have to use one of the XML options, though at this point my web service is a simple thing that only returns some strings for prototyping purposes (I'm not the one writing the web service, just the front ends. Our other developer hasn't come up with a stub service yet). I know there must be some way to set a web service up as a business object so that you can bind it to a control like a gridview.

I'm taking over a project for a former co-worker. We're consuming a web service which requires authentication. The former co-worker was unable to call the service using WCF. I'm mostly unfamiliar with web services but was also unable to get it to authenticate.Upon speaking w/ the original developer, I was told that I'd have to build a project in VS 2005 in order to consume the service and that WSE 3 would have to be used, instead of WCF. He has some code that did indeed build and run on his PC, while he was here. I'm now unable to get it to build.
I'm running VS 2005 on XP and have WSE 3.0 installed and enabled on the project, which is a C# class library. I successfully made a Web Reference to the service and generated a proxy. In trying to test it, the first few lines of my code look like this:
[Code]....
...problem is, it says that the proxy that was generated does not have RequestSoapContext!

I am trying to create a wrapper class for the MusicBrainz CD database using VB.NET. I have a test URL that produces an XML response:[URL]I need to get that response into an XMLDocument object in .NET. I have tried XMLDocument.Load, WebClient.DownloadString, and HttpWebRequest through a StreamReader. All produce: Unable to Connect To Remote Server. It is possible that my company firewall is the problem but I can access the URL just fine in a web browser.

Here's a simple question that Google isn't providing any good leads on:How I do consume this in VS 2008 or 2010?[URL]I have no control over it, I just have to consume it and use it. Adding it as a web reference in the project yields this error:[URL]was not recognized as a known document type.The error message from each known type may help you fix the problem:- Report from 'XML Schema' is 'The root element of a W3C XML Schema should be <schema> and its namespac"

I'm working with an outside company to impletement their API into our program. Most of their member functions working pretty solid. I get to the one function where I have to pass an associated array to it and this is where it blows up. I create a hash table or namevaluecollection and of course I will get the error(The type System.Collections.Hashtable is not supported because it implements IDictionary.), which can't be serialized.
Is there an easy way to pass this associated array to them? I don't think their api is very flexible, but they seem to think so.

I need to access a web service. The WSDL is not available, even if I know everything about the service (url, method name and signature). I guess I could use HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse classes:HTTPResponse: should contains the XML Soap Response that I eventually parse.HTTPRequest: how to specify the service's and the method's parameters?

I've created a class library, now I'm trying to use it in a webservice.If I try and use it via a web method like this:
<WebMethod()> _Public
Function GetStaffList()
As List(Of ClassLibrary.Staff)
End
Function
I get this error:You must implement a default accessor on System.Security.Policy.Evidence because it inherits from ICollection. And I can't seem to find any coherent instructions on remedying this issue.If I copy the Staff class into the web service (app_code) it works hunky dory, so it must be security..I can't be the only one attempting this! MSDN doesn't explain this one too well :(

for the past couple of days i am facing an issue where the first call from my ASP.NET 4 application (VS 2010 Web Site) hosted in IIS 7 to an XML web service is dead-slow. subsequent calls are fast until the AppDomain is restarted.
I have tried all solutions related to pre-generating the serializer assembly but nothing worked. Anyway THEN I was sure it is an IIS-only issue because if i consume the xml web service from a console .net application then all the calls are fast. its even fast from an ASP.NET web site NOT hosted in IIS instead running on the development server. SO clearly the problem is there only when my app is hosted in IIS.

I have consumed an external webservice in my client application using WCF. And every thing works great in my Dev box(XP with IIS5.1)But when the same application is moved to Prod server(Win Server 2003 with IIS6.0) it fails. Below is the exception caught:
There was no endpoint listening at http://MyExternalWebServiceUrlWithSessionId could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.And the InnerException is: Unable to connect to the remote server.My Config file has the below settings:

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 ?

Most WCF web service I have developed were consumed in a server side code (by adding a service reference in visual studio or creating a proxy class using svcutil.exe. I have never consumed a web service in a client code. So I apologize if I am using wrong terminology or my question does not make sense.We have a browser add-on or plugin that connect to a device on client computer (think of it as active-x control for internet explorer) inside a asp.net web page.This browser plugin/add-on then will be sending measurement data to the web server. After some research it appears to me that I can do eithera) Develop an AJAX enabled WCF web service and use script manager and javascript to consume it inside the web page that interact with browser pluginb) Develop a WCF web servcice (not sure about AJAX enable) that serialize request and response to JSON, and use JQuery inside asp.net page to consume it.QuestionWhat's difference between approach a) and b)? Which is better in particular scenario I have described.

I have an ASP.NET 4.0 site that I expect to come under extremely high volumes in the next month or so and I am attempting to maximize performance. The site is divided into the front end UI pages, as was as a business and data layer. My thought was to pull the business and data layer out and wrap them in a NamedPipes Connected Windows Service running in Singleton mode.
I created the windows service, got the connection setup correctly and now I am wondering if this is just asking for trouble. Is this a good idea or should I just leave the Business/Data layers in the main solution and let IIS spin those objects up and down for each request? In essence I was thinking that using a WCF Windows Service as an Application Server would be more efficient but that is just a theory

I could really use some help on this one. I've been fighting it now for several days and we are supposed to start testing early next week.I am subscribing to 4 web services all hosted by the same company. The integration with 1, 2 and 3 all went fine, but on the fourth I keep getting the very unhelpful error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException = {"Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}

I have the following code for consuming a service that is not working for me. what I can do to narrow down whats going wrong?
The address is: http://localhost:57667/ExampleService.svc/
When visiting directly I get the 'You have created a service... message'
The code that goes wrong is here. It causes the following error:
_url = "http://localhost:57667/ExampleService.svc";
TextReader textReader = new StringReader(HttpPostClient.Post(new Uri(_url), bodyData.ToString(), _exampleServiceRequestEncoding, Properties.Settings.Default.HttpPostClientExampleAvailabilityTimeout));
ERROR MESSAGE:When visiting this URL directly: http://localhost:57667/ExampleService.svc/ProcessRequest
The exception message is 'No component for key example.ExternalWebServiceStubs.Example.ExampleService was found'.

I have a custom class declared as follows (in vb.net)
<Serializable()> _
Public Class NumInfo
Public n As String
Public f As Integer
Public fc As char()
Public t As Integer
Public tc As char()
Private validFlag As Boolean = True
Public Sub New()
End Sub
I also have public properties(read/write) for all the public variables
End Class
In my service.asmx codebehind class I have a webmethod as follows:
<WebMethod> _
<XmlInclude(GetType(NumInfo))>
Public Function ConvertTo(ByVal info As NumInfo) As String
Return mbc(info)
'mbc is another function defined in my service.asmx "service" class
End Function
The problem is that when I start debugging it to test it, the page that I get does not contain any fields where I could input the values for the public fields of numInfo. How do I initialise the class? There is no "Invoke" button either. All I see are soap details as below:
ConvertTo
Test
The test form is only available for methods with primitive types as parameters. SOAP 1.1 The following is a sample SOAP 1.1 request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values.
POST /BaseConverter/BaseCon.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://RohitServices.in/ConvertTo"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ConvertTo xmlns="http://RohitServices.in/">
<info>
<n>string</n>
<f>int</f>
<fc>
<char>char</char>
<char>char</char>
</fc>
What am I doing wrong? For the record I tried replacing char() with string to see if it was the array causing problems but that didn't help either. I'm fairly new to web services. I tried replacing the custom object parameter with a primitive parameter just to check how things worked and it rendered a page with an input field and invoke button. I just can't seem to get it working with custom object.

I created two similar oData services:
1. ADO.NET Data Service with Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET 3.5 SP
2. WCF Data Service using Visual Studio 2010 and they both work in IE.
I can make a Service Reference to the first one with VS2008.
The problem is when I try to use Visual Studio 2008 as a client and I try to add a Service Reference for the WCF Data Service made with Visual Studio 2010:
an Error (Details) occurred while attempting to find services at '
and the Detail is:
DS_InvalidMetadataFile
Parameter name: edmxDocument
the xml of the 2 services is perfectly the same (with the exception of the url in the "base" attribute in the service node)
