Returned Parameters

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 CreateAndViewLetter request object, and a CreateAndViewLetter response object. We can define and create those like this:

// Create request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.createOrViewLtr_Request request = new SWS.createOrViewLtr_Request();
SWS.PdfFilePath_Response response;

Here’s my sample code of the Request object.

// Letter link request
request.LtrData.siteId = 123456;
request.LtrData.acctId = 123456;
request.LtrData.unitNum = "A102";
request.LtrData.ltrTypeId = 123456;
request.LtrData.siteLtrRule = SWS.siteRuleLtrTypeGrpVals.RATECHANGE;
request.LtrData.isMailLocal = true;
request.LtrData.isCOM = false;
request.LtrData.certifiedType = SWS.certifiedVals.NONE;
request.LtrData.contactType = SWS.contactTypeVals.PRIMARY;
request.LtrData.contactOrAddrId = 123456;

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to retrieve our requested information. 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.createAndViewLetter(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Here is what a returned path might look like:

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