[Popoxinhxan]

Could anyone give me a guide or example of how to test the web service
Here is my web service but i don't know how to write the test for it
public class Service{
private string m_ERR_NO_LISTIN G= "No data found";
private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetL ogger(typeof(Se rvice));

[WebMethod]
public com.xignite.www.Category [] GetCategoriesAn dTopics()
{
com.xignite.www.Category[] ArrayOfCategory = null;
try
{
ArrayOfCategory = Service.GetCate goriesAndTopics ();
}
catch(Exception e) {
log.Error("Invo ke GetCategoriesAn dTopics operation failed", e);
throw new SoapException(e .Message, SoapException.S erverFaultCode) ;
}

if (ArrayOfCategor y!=null && ArrayOfCategory .Length>0 &&
ArrayOfCategory[0]!=null)
{
if (IsOutcomeResul tFailed(ArrayOf Category[0]))
{
throw new SoapException(A rrayOfCategory[0].Message,
SoapException.S erverFaultCode) ;
}
}

if(ArrayOfCateg ory==null ||ArrayOfCatego ry.Length==0 ||
ArrayOfCategory[0]==null)
{
throw new SoapException(m _ERR_NO_LISTING ,
SoapException.S erverFaultCode) ;
}

return ArrayOfCategory ;
}

private bool IsOutcomeResult Failed(com.xign ite.www.Common common)
{
return common!=null && common.Outcome!
=com.xignite.www.OutcomeTypes.Success;
}
}

You've two options:

1) Open up Explorer, and point to the Web Service URL. You'll see a complete
list of all available methods, and if you click on one it will generate a
form to enter any parameters [if there are any parameters, that is ], or
execute the method.

2) Create a new Project on VS [ perhaps a console app. ], go to references,
right-click add web refererence. There, it will ask you for a URL for the
service, gibe it you service url, and it'll generate a procy class that you
can use to talk to your web service programmaticall y. Use that, and call
whatever methods you've defined [the genrated class amtches all the Web
Methods in your service ]

I knew it already , what i am asking is how to write the unit test and
functional test specifically for web service using nunit.
Thank you
