Example

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We do this with the LookupUser request object.

We will assume you have a web reference, let us name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project.  At this point we need to define our objects.  We will need the standard service object, a Refunds request object, and a Refunds response object. We can define and create those like this:

// Create a request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.Refund_Request request = new SWS.Refund_Request();
SWS.Refund_Response response;

Here’s a sample code of the Request object (including optional parameters):

// ResetRefunds Request
request.OrgID = 123456;
request.SiteList = new long[] { 1232456, 456789 };
request.RefundStatusFilter = new int[] { 2, 1, 3 };

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to reset the applicable refunds. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

// Call the method that will load the response object
try
{
  response = service.ResetRefunds(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You will want to capture the message returned in that exception so it can be debugged.
