Example

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

We’ll assume you’ve got a web reference, let’s name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project.  At this point we need to our objects.  We’ll need the standard service object, an ApplyCreditsToAssessments request object and an ApplyCreditsToAssessments response object.  We can define and create those like this:

 // Create request and response objects and assessment info object
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.ApplyCreditToAssessments_Request request = new SWS.ApplyCreditToAssessments_Request();
SWS.ApplyCreditToAssessments_Response response;

SWS.AssessInfo assess_data = new SWS.AssessInfo();

Here’s my sample code of the Request objects.

//Create assessment info object
assess_data.AssessId = 123456;
assess_data.AssessVersion = 3;
assess_data.ApplyAmt = 10.50m;

//Applies the credit to the assessment
request.OrgID = 123456;
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.RentalID = 123456;
request.AssessmentInfo = new SWS.AssessInfo[] { assess_data };

We can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object for applying credits to assessments. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

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

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You’ll want to take a look at that message returned in that exception so it can be debugged.
