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 createOrViewReceipt request object, and a tntLtrNum response object. We can define and create those like this:
// Create a request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.createOrViewReceipt_Request request = new SWS.createOrViewReceipt_Request();
SWS.tntLtrNum_Response response;
Here is a sample code of the request object:
// createOrViewReceipt Request
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.AcctID = 123456;
request.TransactionID = 123456;
request.PdfTemplateID = 123456;
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.mailCentralizedReceipt(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.
