SOAP Client in C# without access to a WSDL-file

Question

I\'m working with a third party to integrate some of our systems with theirs and they provide us with a SOAP interface to make certain requests and changes in their connected sy

Answer 1

the code here is in VB.NET but I think you'll get the idea. The following is a client that invokes the 'processConfirmation' method and it expects a response (MyBase.SendRequestResponse).

Imports Microsoft.Web.Services3
Imports Microsoft.Web.Services3.Addressing
Imports Microsoft.Web.Services3.Messaging

Namespace Logic
    Public Class HTTPClient
        Inherits Soapclient

        Sub New(ByVal destination As EndpointReference)
            MyBase.Destination = destination
        End Sub

         _
        Public Function processConfirmation(ByVal envelope As SoapEnvelope) As SoapEnvelope
            Return MyBase.SendRequestResponse("processConfirmation", envelope)
        End Function
    End Class
End Namespace

And you use it by doing the following:

Dim hc As New HTTPClient(New Microsoft.Web.Services3.Addressing.EndpointReference(New System.Uri("http://whatever.srv")))

Dim envelope As New Microsoft.Web.Services3.SoapEnvelope
Dim doc As New Xml.XmlDocument
doc.LoadXml("there")
envelope.SetBodyObject(doc)

Dim return_envelope As Microsoft.Web.Services3.SoapEnvelope = hc.processConfirmation(envelope)

I think this should work .... success!
