How to call the function existing in the Web Service

Question

User-786564416 posted

I have a web service.

I added it to my web application.

I created a web form. I want to call the function existing after I got the References.cs

The function is:

System.Data.DataTable GetBenefitMonthlyList(string ListMonth, int ListType)

The full References.cs file is:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <auto-generated>
//     This code was generated by a tool.
//     Runtime Version:4.0.30319.42000

namespace WebServiceConsumer.ServiceReference1 {
    using System.Data;
    
    
    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "4.0.0.0")]
    [System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(ConfigurationName="ServiceReference1.MonthlyBenefitListSoap")]
    public interface MonthlyBenefitListSoap {
        
        [System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(Action="http://tempuri.org/GetBenefitMonthlyList", ReplyAction="*")]
        [System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute(SupportFaults=true)]
        System.Data.DataTable GetBenefitMonthlyList(string ListMonth, int ListType);
    }
    
    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "4.0.0.0")]
    public interface MonthlyBenefitListSoapChannel : WebServiceConsumer.ServiceReference1.MonthlyBenefitListSoap, System.ServiceModel.IClientChannel {
    }
    
    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "4.0.0.0")]
    public partial class MonthlyBenefitListSoapClient : System.ServiceModel.ClientBase<WebServiceConsumer.ServiceReference1.MonthlyBenefitListSoap>, WebServiceConsumer.ServiceReference1.MonthlyBenefitListSoap {
        
        public MonthlyBenefitListSoapClient() {
        }
        
        public MonthlyBenefitListSoapClient(string endpointConfigurationName) : 
                base(endpointConfigurationName) {
        }
        
        public MonthlyBenefitListSoapClient(string endpointConfigurationName, string remoteAddress) : 
                base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress) {
        }
        
        public MonthlyBenefitListSoapClient(string endpointConfigurationName, System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress remoteAddress) : 
                base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress) {
        }
        
        public MonthlyBenefitListSoapClient(System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding, System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress remoteAddress) : 
                base(binding, remoteAddress) {
        }
        
        public System.Data.DataTable GetBenefitMonthlyList(string ListMonth, int ListType) {
            return base.Channel.GetBenefitMonthlyList(ListMonth, ListType);
        }
    }
}

Now, I want to call the function GetBenefitMonthlyList from the web form CallingForm1.aspx.cs, which as far has the code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using WebServiceConsumer.ServiceReference1;

namespace WebServiceConsumer.CallingForms
{
    public partial class CallingForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataTable MyDt = new DataTable();
            
        }
    }
}

I don't know how to call the function as I am new to C# and Web Service. In VB.net with ordinary, I use to do it as follow, so the MyDt table will retrieve all the records.

dim MyDt as datatable = MonthlyBenefitListSoap.GetBenefitMonthlyList("052015", 3)

But here, How can I call this function when the Page_Load?

I suggest that you do the tutorial, which will show how to build a Web service and then call a Web service method from a client program using VB.NET, which should help you understand what you have to do to make the call to the Web service method in the ASP.NET Web form's Page_Load event using VB.NRT

Hi alihusain_77,

You should instantiate the MonthlyBenefitListSoap first, and then call GetBenefitMonthlyList () method with the instantiation object.

The code:

ServiceReference1.MonthlyBenefitListSoap client = new MonthlyBenefitListSoap ();

datatable MyDt=client.GetBenefitMonthlyList("052015", 3);

Best regards,

Sam
