Example

We’ll assume you’ve got a web reference, let’s name it Store, in your Visual Studio project. At this point we need to reference our objects. We’ll need the standard service object, a MakeReservation_Request request object and at least one MakeReservationContacts object. We can define and create those like this:

// Create a request and response objects
StoreServiceClient client = new StoreServiceClient();
MakeReservation_Request request = new MakeReservation_Request();
MakeReservationContacts contact = new MakeReservationContacts();

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We also set up the parameters for our request.

client.ChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = "user";
client.ChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.Password = "pass";
client.ChannelFactory.Credentials.SupportInteractive = true;

contact.ContactID = 123456;
contact.AddressID = 123456;
contact.PhoneID = 123456;
contact.GateCode = "1234";
contact.GateTimezone = "0";
contact.PrimaryFlag = true;

request.SiteID = 123456;
request.AcctID = 123456;
request.Channel = 999;
request.Contacts = new MakeReservationContacts[] { contact };
request.InquirySource = 2;
request.Price = 50m;
request.QuoteType = 1;
request.RentNow = true;
request.UnitID = 123456;
request.Version = 34;

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to create the soft reservation with a deposit. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

try
{
    // Call the method that will load the response object
    MakeReservation_Response resp;
    resp = client.MakeReservationSoftDeposit(request, true);
}
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.
