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 SellRetailNoAccount request object, and a SellRetailNoAccount response object. You will also need an item from the GetAvailablRetailItems method. We can define and create those like this:

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

SWS.GetAvailableRetailItems_Request retailItemReq = 
                             new SWS.GetAvailableRetailItems_Request();

Here is a sample code of the request object (including some optional parameters):

// SellRetailNoAccount Request
retailItemReq.SiteID = 123456;
            
request.OrgID = 123456;
request.Quantity = 2;
request.Item = service.GetAvailableRetailItems
               (user_request, retailItemReq).Details[0];

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.SellRetailNoAccount(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.
