The problem i'm having is that i've created a web service, and a windows form (separate solutions). I added the web service to the form app using a service reference, I can pass an 'int' or a 'string' to the web service no problem, but i cannot pass an array of int's or List<int
>
The web service code is as follows:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.Services;
namespace CalculateService
{
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[ToolboxItem(false)]
public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public int CalcluateSum(List<int> listInt)
{
int sum = listInt.Sum();
return sum;
}
}
}
and the client code is:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace CalculateForm
{
public partial class FormCalculate : Form
{
List<int> intArray = new List<int>();
public FormCalculate()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnAddNum_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
intArray.Add(Convert.ToInt32(txtAddNum.Text));
txtAddNum.Clear();
listBoxAddNum.Items.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < intArray.Count; i++)
{
listBoxAddNum.Items.Add(intArray[i]);
}
}
private void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CalculateForm.CalculateService.Service1SoapClient client = new CalculateForm.CalculateService.Service1SoapClient();
int result = client.CalcluateSum(intArray);
txtResult.Text = Convert.ToString(result);
}
}
}
The error I am getting is:
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'System.Collections.Generic.List' to 'CalculateForm.CalculateService.ArrayOfInt'
I am sure it's something simple and I'll feel daft when someone points it out :)
Cheers Carl
WSDL cannot handle Lists, so it uses an Array instead, doing the conversion before it passes it into your Service Method. Just call ToArray() on your List before calling the method.
I finally got it working!! :)
I managed to get it to pass the List<int>
rather than using the ToArray()
method.
Here's the client code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace CalculateForm
{
public partial class FormCalculate : Form
{
List<int> listInt = new List<int>();
public FormCalculate()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnAddNum_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
listInt.Add(Convert.ToInt32(txtAddNum.Text));
txtAddNum.Clear();
listBoxAddNum.Items.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < listInt.Count; i++)
{
listBoxAddNum.Items.Add(listInt[i]);
}
}
private void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CalculateService.Service1SoapClient client = new CalculateService.Service1SoapClient();
CalculateService.ArrayOfInt arrayOfInt = new CalculateService.ArrayOfInt();
arrayOfInt.AddRange(listInt);
int result = client.CalcluateSum(arrayOfInt);
txtResult.Text = Convert.ToString(result);
}
}
}
and the web service code:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.Services;
namespace CalculateService
{
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[ToolboxItem(false)]
public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public int CalcluateSum(List<int> listInt)
{
int sum = listInt.Sum();
return sum;
}
}
}
so basically all I had to do was create a new instance of the CalculateService.ArrayOfInt
in the client, and add the range of data from the List<int> listInt
then pass arrayOfInt
to the web service.
Cheers everyone for your help, no doubt I'll be back soon :)
I did it using WCE3.0 extension. When you generate the reference.cs
file, the system puts int[]
instead of List<int>
. You have to replace int[]
by List<int>
in reference.cs
file.
