Hello All, I am sucessfully writing SOAP messages with the SOAP Toolkit and VB6.0. I did however run into a problem whereby the format of one of my input parameters needs to be in a format as in below: AliquotInternalID In general the toolkit calls to serializer.writestring, outputs in the following: AliquotInternalID How can I make calls to the Toolkit to create the child tags with the values as see in the first example. All responses are welcome. Have a great day.

Thanks Sebastian for the time: Below is a snippet of the code that creates and calls the service (simply). Below the code is the sniffer section that shows that there is no SOAP-ENV namespace. So I guess my guestion is, how can I create a user specified SOAP message. O    int rprocess;                   int rErrors;                   int sampAdded;                   int sampMod;                   int sampDeleted;                   int aliAdded;                   int aliModified;                   int aliDeleted;                   int[] recSent = {'1'};                   string[] reqNum = {"C0772014121"};                   string[] sampType = {"BLOOD"};                   string[] sampID = {"07720141210"};                   DateTime[] inputDate = {Convert.ToDateTime("2009-10-15")};                   DateTime[] inputTime = {Convert.ToDateTime("17:12")};                   int[] aliID = {100050};                                     WebReference.Freezerworks service = new WebReference.Freezerworks();                   service.Url = @"http://172.32.2.102:8081/Freezerworks/Update/";                   try                   {                         service.TestUpdate("ffowler",

Hello All, It's about 4:25 EST and I got in around 7:30am EST. I have scoured the Web for a SIMPLE tutorial or example to send and receive(process) SOAP messages in C#. At this moment, I have not found any full descriptive examples/tutorials to satisfy my goal. My goal is simple and not in need of anything fancy. I have a web service that requires a SOAP message to be passed to it and I require a response. The closet I have come is to recreate an app that get's the time off of EBay's server which was a paramount step. But when I try the same for my WebService, I receive an error "Malformed SOAP request, SOAP-ENV:Envelope element not found in root". My sniffer, did show that SOAP-ENV was not included in the message, indicating to me that I have to find a way to edit the message. So, I am now forced to you, my last hope to assist me with accessing my goal. What I am looking for is a tutorial or code example (mostly complete) that would show me how to create a soap message (manually would be better in this case) send it and read the response. Simple (to you) but a monster to me. Any and I mean any help will be greatly appreciated.

Navaneeth, You are about to become my hero!!! Thank you very much for the time you took to detail this out for me. Works just like you would expect it to. Again my deepest thanks. Now, my problem is that when I try to run it again a another WebService, I get an error stating that the message SOAP message is malformed. I see that the SOAP-ENV is missing (I have invested in a sniffer program to assist) so that is where the problem lies. Is there anywhere that I could make sure that the SOAP message contains this or any other tag? Is there a way to manually build the message?

Shamefully I come to you all. I have searched high and low with varying success on how to create, post, and receive a SOAP message to a simple Web Service. I am terribly confused on how to go about it with the different types of ways to do it. I don't consider myself to be a noob but I feel like a babe in the woods right now. Therefore I am at the point where I am not too proud to beg. If there is anyone that knows of a good tutorial (that is clearer than what Microsoft offers, a slightly working example or any complete documentation on how to create, post and receieve a SOAP package to a Web Service I would be more than appreciative. Thank you to all that even consider my request. Also I apologize for being such a bug with my request. I assure you though that I spent more than a week investigating and trying things out. I do not take anyone's time for granted. Happy Holidays....' F

Hello All, I am hoping someone could steer me in the right direction with a problem I am having. I created a small app that sucessfully consumes a Web Service and traps the response. I am able to read individual pieces of the document but when it comes to arrays, I am having the most difficult time. Below I have posted the XML response and what I am looking to store is the values in ref1 and ref2. But I don't know how to get at them. I see a reference to these 2 elements in the SearchServiceNames and   ServiceLastModificationDates tags but I am totally lost on how to read and hook the two up. Any help would be most appreciated. I thank you for your time and comments. <?xml version="1.0"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> SOAP-ENV:Body <ns1:GetSearchServicesResponse SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.dwdev.com/Webservices/Freezerworks/"> <SearchServicesCount>3</SearchServicesCount> <SearchServiceNames href="#ref-1"/> <SearchServiceLastModificationDates href="#ref-2"/> </ns1:GetSearchServicesResponse> <SOAP-ENC:Array SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[3]" id="ref-1"> <item>GetIDs</item> <item>russtest</item> <item>russtestservice</item> </SOAP-ENC:Array> <SOAP-ENC:Array SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:date[3]" id="ref-2"> <item>2009-11-17</item> <item>2009-11-16</item> <item>2009-11-16</item> </SOAP-ENC:Array></SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

David, I am required to create a report whereby each item quantity has it's own line (for jotting notes or whatever next to each. I love my Sales Dept!!!) In any event, I see where you are going with that, but I won't use a cursor. There is a niffty loop that I found that takes the place of using cursors which I have found is alot lighter. I think that is a plan and I'll give it a go. Thanks to all of you for your time with my issue, which is certainly not yours. I appreciate it.

That is correct David. I need a row created based on what is in the Quantity field of the original table. You have outlined it perfectly. Sorry I didn't make it clearer to you others originially. Now, can it be done, or do I have do something externally?

Hello All, Sorry to bother you but I am hitting up against a wall trying to figure something out so I am turning to you for assistance (if possible.). I have a table of let's say widgets. And for each entry there is a Quantity column. What I am needing to do is to write a Store Procedure for SQL Server that will pull all widgets for a certain customer and create a record in another table for each widget. No problem there. But I need to create a record for each widget based on it's quantity column. So for example customer A brought 3 widget items: Widget1 5 pieces, Widget2 1 piece, and Widget3 3 pieces. What I need to end up with is a new table with 9 entries. 1 for each widget piece. Again I am sorry to bother you guys, but I am really at a lost. I thank you in advance for any help you can direct me with. Fred

No problem now, you've helped me.

No, no, no..... It couldn't be that simple!!!! I use OnClick all the time. I knew I wasn't thinking straight. The buttons are not being generated dynamically. They are set a design time. I told you that I wasn't in my right mind. Thanks my friend.

I apologize right off for asking this question but I am either searching wrong or it is too late in the day for me to get the idea. Please, if someone out there can extend a hand, I would greatly appreciate it. I have several buttons on my page, within a form and I would like each button to perform a specific action (show panels, hide panels, assign variables etc...) when pressed. On the post back, how do I find out which button was pressed so that I may perform the function required. A small snippet or a pointer to a article would work out fine. Again sorry and thanks.

With diligence I was able to figure this issue out. I am using and SQLDataSource as the object to run my SP. Under the "Define Parameters" section of the wizard, I had to define each parameter with "GridView1.SelectedDataKey[0-3]" instead of "SelectedValue". I found this under the advance properties link. The SelectedDataKey[n] value corresponds to the enumeration of the values passed from GridView1 Just an FYI to anyone else who may run into this issue. Thanks

Hello All, I've run into a problem I need some assistance with. I have 2 gridviews on a webform. The first one displays some master information (customer id, order, etc). The gridview is setup to allow selections. My plan is to display the details in another gridview depending on the selected line. The problem that I am having is that I need to have 4 elements to perform the stored procedure to display the details. I setup gridview1 to have the 4 elements as "DataKeyNames" and I setup Gridview2 to use Gridview1 as the origin for the elements (Control --> Gridview1). I have no problem displaying details if there is only one element needed (another stored procedure) but I want to drill down further so I have defined the 4 elements. How can I get gridview2 to display the details provided by gridview1. As always, Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Well I hope I am not the only one who has ever done this, I have faith that I am not. But, I thought about just what you replied Navaneeth, and realized the code in the page_load didn't make sense. So I removed it but the SelectedIndexChanged event never fired. So I (just now) reviewed the event. I works now because I put the code in the GridView1 event as opposed to the "GridView2" event. Thanks for your reply and I shall bow out humbly now...

Hello All, I am stuck on a very simple problem and I at a loss at this point. I have checked the message board but could not find a solution to my particular problem so that is why I am coming to you today. Here goes: I have a very simple page with a 2 GridViews and a text box (simple master/detail setup). The first Gridview is bound to an SQLDataSource which runs a simple stored procedure and fills the gridview upon it's first load. The gridview has a Selection link on it which when clicked passes an argument to the second gridview which is then populated with the details of the selected row. Here's the problem, I want to capture another field of the selected row an show it in a textbox. Simple. Not so (for me anyways). In the Page_Load and SelectedIndexChanged event I simply have 'this.TextBox1.Text = this.GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text.ToString();' The SelectedIndexChanged Event doesn't fire before the postback because I get an error in my Page_Load event that there is a NullReferenceException on the Gridview. Can someone be kind enough to guide me in the right direction on how to cure this ill. Greatly appreciated.....FF

Whoa, Whoa guys. I may not have explained myself clearly from the responses I have received. The database tables are in the correct format as you have suggested. I need a query to pull the data in the format I mentioned to another party. I am not certain how they will be utilizing the data in this manner but that what has been spec'd out to me. Thank you Anup for your assistance and I will further explore the command you have suggested.

Greetings All, I have a particular problem that I am hoping someone with some TSQL know-how can assist me with. Here's the issue: I have a table that contains 40 some-odd columns. the first 2 columns are essentially identifiers. The following columns are components of the identifier. To give a clear picture, lets' say the first row has CHCK in the 1st column and Chocolate Cake in the 2nd column. The rest of the columns contains the ingredients of the Chocolate Cake (let's say 7 ingredients). The next row is for Grilled Cheese. This row would only have 3 ingredients. Here is what I would like to achieve: I want to run through each row and read every column to see if there is a value in it. If there is a value, I would like to put the identifier and the ingredient in another table with an insert so that this new table (with only 2 columns) looks something like this CHCK eggs CHCK milk GCHEES bread GCHEESE cheese Is there a way that I could do this in a stored procedure? I know that I could use a cursor to the rows but each row could have a variable number of *ingredients* and that is where I am lost. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may offer.

Hello All, I have a question that I think I did perform due diligence on finding an answer before having to interupt your day. I am at a lost, so here goes. I have an internal application that users requested I extend it's features by allowing a user to upload a file that anyone can look at by selecting it from a list. I utilized the FileUpload Control with extreme ease and that this part is working great (uploading the files and saving them to the hard drive.) After this I have hit a wall. I want the user to be able to select a saved file and have it displayed in the aspx page with the correct external application (Word for docs and txt files, and anything for pdf files. I allow the upload of DOC and PDF files). I have not found a way to do this. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I will greatly appreciate it. Again, sorry to bug you guys but I am lost.:confused:

:doh: Sorry to have been a bother. I just wasn't thinking for some reason. Thanks!
