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 VoidTransaction request object, and a VoidTransaction response object. We can define and create those like this:
// Create a request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.VoidTransaction_Request request = new SWS.VoidTransaction_Request();
SWS.VoidTransaction_Response response;
Here is a sample code of the request object:
// VoidTransaction Request
request.OrgID = 123456;
request.SiteID = 123546;
request.AccountID = 123456;
request.AccountName = "Doe, John";
request.Amount = 55.26m;
request.TransactionID = 123546;
request.TransactionDate = new DateTime(2016, 2, 3);
request.Ledger = SWS.LedgerType.Rental;
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.VoidTransaction(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 in the exception so it can be debugged.
