SOAP Client

[cj]

Simple Object Access Protocol is new to me. Can anyone point me to a
simple soap example? I found something on MS site but they don't tell
me what namespace to include for dim SOAPClient = New SOAPClient to work
for example.

cj,

Do you real need Soap or do you need to make a webservice?

Which is much easier to create with Visual Studio Net than doing everything
yourself.

By the way, I thought that you said that you would go to bath on wensday not
on tuesday.

I think I need soap. I need to pass an xml file/string to a Validation
Over Internet (VOI) server. The documentation they gave me says, "Using
an XML-based application with SOAP technology, you can process
transactions from any computer running a client application with
Internet access. To use our service, you must create your own
client-side application to interface with our VOI server. YOu may write
your client applications in languages such as Java, Visual Basic, Perl,
C/C++, and the like. The client application must submit requests using
HTTPS."

I don't know what a webservice is but SOAP and webservices seem
connected in the info I've found searching the Internet. I'd guess SOAP
is required, but I'd like to hear your input.

The folks I'm connecting to are not really into Microsoft development
environments. They work in Java and non-MS C++ on Linux I think. I can
kinda read C++ but given I'm still new to all this I'm easily confused.

I kinda figured my bath tomorrow at 11:00 will be much more enjoyable if
I have some SOAP with me at that time. :)

CJ,

It would be clever if I would help you with SOAP.
The last time I have looked at it was more than 3 years ago.

I would try it in the newsgroup

Microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.framework.w ebservices.

If you crosspost it to this one (one message to more newsgroup) we can see

Cross posting sounds great but how would I do that? I don't mean to
sound stupid but... I'm picking up and sending these messages with
Thunderbird's news reader.

I see

&
Microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges but no framework under it.

Hello,

Microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.webservices is the right place for a SOAP
or web service problem.

I am not sure the Validation Over Internet (VOI) server is a web service
server and what XML data it required. You may need to consult them for
details before you make the final solution. With VS.NET, we can easily
create a web service client which consume a remote web service. So your
question may be, is the functions on VOI public as a web service, and can I
consume them in a VS.NET application.

Hope this help,

Luke Zhang
