Hi,

I want a sample app for smart device emulator using web service call for VS2008, and i didn't find any option while at the time of adding service reference like "Add Service reference" in VS2008 after web service created. I've only found option like "Add Web Reference" so i tried example like this but it give error like "unable to connect remote server".

Hi Mohsin,

Thanks for your reply, actually i didn't have any issues with internet still it shows error like "unable to connect remote server" can you please take a look at my code snippet from below...

 

Web service code...

[WebMethod]
  public string MobileApp(string mobileName) 
  {
    return mobileName + " Selected";
  }

Device emulator code... after adding the Web reference from solution explorer.

private void btnSerCall_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      MobApp.Service mobSer = new MobApp.Service();
      lblResult.Text= mobSer.MobileApp(txtBrand.Text);
    }

Thanks,

@nagaraju.

Hi ,

I have seen your code. However the problem is with your service. I am not able to retrieve web methods from your service.  That is why you are getting error.

The best way is  to check the sample : 

Please find the sample/blog below given by my msdn buddy Mr.Pavan. This example definitely gonna help you.
