What Is a Proxy?
• Appears the same as the original class but does not
contain application logic
• Uses SOAP to interact with the XML Web service

• Created from the Web Service Description Language


file (WSDL)

Steps for Calling an XML Web Service

11 Create a Web reference for the XML Web service

22 Create an instance of the XML Web service

33 Call the Web methods of the XML Web service

44 Build the ASP.NET Web application

[Visual C#]
private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{ localhost.Service1 ProxyGetStocks = new
localhost.Service1();
lblResults.Text = ProxyGetStocks.GetRating("Contoso");
}

[Visual Basic]
Sub Button1_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles _
Button1.Click
Dim ProxyGetStocks As New localhost.Service1()
lblResults.Text = ProxyGetStocks.GetRating("Contoso")
End Sub
XML Web Service Error Handling
• Service unavailable

GetStocks.StockWebRef.Service1 ProxyGetStocks =
new GetStocks.StockWebRef.Service1();
ProxyGetStocks.Timeout = 10000;
try
{
lblMessage.Text =
ProxyGetStocks.GetRating(TextBox1.Text);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
lblMessage.Text = err.Message;
}

• SOAP exceptions from XML Web services


Demonstration: Testing the Availability of an XML
Web Service
• Set a timeout error handling Try…Catch statement

• Slow the Web service

• Test the exception

22 Declare the WebMethod functions

33 Build the XML Web service project

44 Test with a browser


XML Web Service Code
• .asmx page
 Contains file type information and a directive to the
code-behind page

• Code-behind page
[Visual C#]
public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public type function1()
{
//function here
}
}

[Visual Basic]
Class Service1
<WebMethod()> Public Function function1() As type
'function_here
End Function
End Class
