Hello If you have SOAP and wsdl you can follow below method to call service without adding ref /// ResultCode 1 if success. private XmlDocument CallWebService(string method string operation string xmlPayload) { string result = ; string CREDENTIALS = PASSword123; string URL_ADDRESS = http://www.client.com/_ws/ + method + ?sso= + CREDENTIALS + &o= + operation +; //TODO: customize to your needs // ===== You shoudn't need to edit the lines below ===== // Create the web request HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(new Uri(URL_ADDRESS)) as HttpWebRequest; // Set type to POST request.Method = POST; request.ContentType = application/xml; // Create the data we want to send StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder(); data.Append(xmlPayload); byte[] byteData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data.ToString()); // Create a byte array of the data we want to send request.ContentLength = byteData.Length; // Set the content length in the request headers // Write data to request using (Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream()) { postStream.Write(byteData 0 byteData.Length); } // Get response and return it XmlDocument xmlResult = new XmlDocument(); try { using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse) { StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); result = reader.ReadToEnd(); reader.Close(); } xmlResult.LoadXml(result); } catch (Exception e) { xmlResult = CreateErrorXML(e.Message ); //TODO: returns an XML with the error message } return xmlResult; } Hope this method is useful.
