Read Soap Message using C#

Answer 1

First you want to create a class to deseralize the xml values into

    public class bookHotelResponse {
      public int bookingReference { get; set; }
      public int bookingStatus { get; set; }
   } 

Then you can utilize GetElementsByTagName to extract the body of the soap request and deseralize the request string into an object.

    private static T DeserializeInnerSoapObject<T>(string soapResponse)
    {
        XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
        xmlDocument.LoadXml(soapResponse);

        var soapBody = xmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName("soap:Body")[0];
        string innerObject = soapBody.InnerXml;

        XmlSerializer deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

        using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(innerObject))
        {
            return (T)deserializer.Deserialize(reader);
        }
    }

Answer 2

Use LINQ2XML

To read bookingStatus,do this

XElement doc = XElement.Load("yourStream.xml");
XNamespace s = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";//Envelop namespace s
XNamespace bhr="urn:schemas-test:testgate:hotel:2012-06";//bookHotelResponse namespace
XNamespace d="http://someURL";//d namespace

foreach (var itm in doc.Descendants(s + "Body").Descendants(bhr+"bookHotelResponse"))
{
itm.Element(d+"bookingStatus").Value;//your bookingStatus value
}

LINQ2XML is cool though....:)

Answer 3

BookHotelResponse is in the namespace urn:schemas-test:testgate:hotel:2012-06 (the default namespace in the sample xml) so you need to provide that namespace in your queries:

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument(); 
document.LoadXml(soapmessage);  //loading soap message as string 
XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(document.NameTable); 

manager.AddNamespace("d", "http://someURL"); 
manager.AddNamespace("bhr", "urn:schemas-test:testgate:hotel:2012-06"); 

XmlNodeList xnList = document.SelectNodes("//bhr:bookHotelResponse", manager); 
int nodes = xnList.Count; 

foreach (XmlNode xn in xnList) 
{ 
    Status = xn["d:bookingStatus"].InnerText; 
}

As I understand you want to get response from soap service. If so, you don't have to do all this hard work (making call, parsing xml, selecting nodes to get the response value) by yourself... instead you need to Add Service Reference to your project and it will do all the rest work for you, including generating class, making asmx call and so on... Read more about it here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb628649.aspx

Everything you'll need to do after adding reference is to invoke a class method something like this

var latestRates = (new GateSoapClient())?.ExchangeRatesLatest();
return latestRates?.Rates;
