Examples

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 CreateSiteTask request object and a CreateSiteTask response object. We can define and create those like this:

// Create request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.CreateSiteTask_Request request = new SWS.CreateSiteTask_Request();
SWS.CreateSiteTask_Response response;

Here’s my sample code of the Request object.

// basic task request
request.Header = "Test task";
request.Body = "This is a test task.  Please ignore.";
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.DueDate = DateTime.Today.AddDays(5);
request.Type = SWS.eTaskType.Followup;
request.Source = SWS.eTaskSource.Website;
request.Priority = SWS.eTaskPriority.Medium;
request.RefType = SWS.eTaskRefType.Account;
request.Ref = 123456; //AcctID based on RefType

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to create our notes. 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.CreateSiteTask(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.
