Connecting to SOAP API using C#

Question

User-1423083070 posted

I am trying to implement a client to access an api at https://vendor-ctrip.fws.ctripqa.com/Hotel/OTAReceive/HotelStaticInfoService.asmx.

However I do not know how to pass credentials and other parameters to the webservice.

I have managed to setup a console application using c# and have added the service as a connected service.

// endpoint
HotelStaticInfoServiceSoapClient.EndpointConfiguration endpoint = new HotelStaticInfoServiceSoapClient.EndpointConfiguration();
// client
HotelStaticInfoServiceSoapClient client = new HotelStaticInfoServiceSoapClient(endpoint);
// request
OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotifRQ dreq = new OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotifRQ();
//response
HotelDescriptiveContentNotifResponse dres = await client.HotelDescriptiveContentNotifAsync(dreq);

Could anyone please direct me in the right direction.

Hi castlesb,

Service Proxy has ClientCredentials property that could set certificate

client.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(
    StoreLocation.LocalMachine,
    StoreName.My,
    X509FindType.FindBySubjectName,
    "cohowinery.com");

You could  refer to the link below to learn how to add certificate to a asmx client
