[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_LISTING= "No data found";
private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Service));

[WebMethod]
public com.xignite.www.Category [] GetCategoriesAndTopics()
{
com.xignite.www.Category[] ArrayOfCategory= null;
try
{
ArrayOfCategory = Service.GetCategoriesAndTopics();
}
catch(Exception e) {
log.Error("Invoke GetCategoriesAndTopics operation failed", e);
throw new SoapException(e.Message, SoapException.ServerFaultCode);
}

if (ArrayOfCategory!=null && ArrayOfCategory.Length>0 &&
ArrayOfCategory[0]!=null)
{
if (IsOutcomeResultFailed(ArrayOfCategory[0]))
{
throw new SoapException(ArrayOfCategory[0].Message,
SoapException.ServerFaultCode);
}
}

if(ArrayOfCategory==null ||ArrayOfCategory.Length==0 ||
ArrayOfCategory[0]==null)
{
throw new SoapException(m_ERR_NO_LISTING,
SoapException.ServerFaultCode);
}

return ArrayOfCategory;
}

private bool IsOutcomeResultFailed(com.xignite.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 programmatically. 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
