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, a AuctionProceeds request object and a GetAuctionTax response object. We can define and create those like this:
// Create a request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.AuctionProceeds request = new SWS.AuctionProceeds();
SWS.GetAuctionTax_Response response;
Here’s my sample code of the Request object.
// GetAuctionTax Request
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.AuctionProceedsAmount = new decimal[] { 326m };
We can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to return our auction tax amount. 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.GetAuctionTax(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.
