Dynamically invoke a web service method wiith  (URL with IP, Service Name, Port, Namespace)

Hi,

I am trying to Dynamically invoke a web service. The code was originally in Java and we are migratiing to .NET.

To invoke a webservice, we usually generate web referece based on wsdl generated code and use it.

Instead, if i have to dynamically invoke a web service method, given that i know the following

- URL with ip
- Service name
- port
- namespace

This is available in java, sample code given below. I need to implement the same in c#. Any pointers will be a BIG BIG HELP for me .

Java has some 3rd party objects as shown in the code below.


//URL wsdl = new URL(url);
String tempServiceName = getServiceName(serviceName);
QName serviceQName = new QName(targetNameSpace, tempServiceName);
QName port = new QName(targetNameSpace, portName);
QName operation;
operation= new QName(targetNameSpace, reqInfo.getRequestMethod());

org.apache.axis.client.ServiceFactory factory = new ServiceFactory();
//org.apache.axis.client.Service service = (Service) factory.createService(new URL(url), serviceQName);
org.apache.axis.client.Service service = (Service) factory.createService(serviceQName);
org.apache.axis.client.Call call = (org.apache.axis.client.Call) service.createCall(port, operation);
call.setReturnType(XMLType.XSD_STRING);
call.addParameter("string", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);

//-------------settign the header
org.apache.axis.message.PrefixedQName svcName = new org.apache.axis.message.PrefixedQName("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/secext", "Security", "wsse");
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement sh = new org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement(svcName);
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement sub = sh.addChildElement("UsernameToken");
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement element = sub.addChildElement("Username");
element.addTextNode(userName);
element = sub.addChildElement("Password");
element.addTextNode(password);
call.addHeader(sh);
//------------

// int iIndexWsdl = url.indexOf("?");
// String strEndPointAddress = url.substring(0, iIndexWsdl);
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(url);
// String requestXML= CommonHelper.getInstance().loadFile(reqInfo.getRequestXML().trim()).toString();
logger.info("request XML:"+reqInfo.getRequestXML());
//long startTime=logger.perf("calling webservice");
long startTime= System.currentTimeMillis();
String response = (String) call.invoke(new Object[]{reqInfo.getRequestXML().trim()});
// long endTime=logger.perf("timeTaken for webserviceCall:",startTime);
long endTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
