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 GetRetailRefundAmount request object and a GetRetailRefundAmount response object.  You will also need a ReturnRetailItem(s) object to indicate which item you are returning. We can define and create those like this:

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

SWS.ReturnRetailItem item = new SWS.ReturnRetailItem();

Here’s my sample code of the Request object.

// GetRetailRefundAmount Request
item.RetailObjectID = 123456;
item.Quantity = 1;
item.ReturnReason = SWS.RetailReturnReasons.DEFECTIVE_DESTROY;

request.SiteID = 123456;
request.TransactionID = 123456;
request.ReturnRetailData = new SWS.ReturnRetailItem[] { item };

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to get our retail refund 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.GetRetailRefundAmount(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.
