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 GetTransactionRentals request object and a GetTransactionRentals response object. We can define and create those like this:
// Create a request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.GetTransactionRentals_Request request = new SWS.GetTransactionRentals_Request();
SWS.GetTransactionRentals_Response response;
Here’s my sample code of the Request object.
// GetTransactionRentals Request
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.TranID = new long[] { 123456 };
Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to get our transaction rentals. 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.GetTransactionRentals(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.
