I am having problems with soap and web references in C#
I have read lots abouit this and have got as far as setting up the web references with a namespace,
when i use the methods in the code behind they highlight so are recognised, intellisense is giving me all the choices for all the methods.
what i cant figure out is where i go next, i seem to have all the things needed available to me but i dont know how to put it all together to produce a soap request and receive an answer.
i have read pages of tutorials and 100's of forum posts about this but cant tie up what i have read with what i have infront of me (obviously i am having trouble understanding the procedure)
Any help that can be given will be greatfully received
Below is a simple peice of code, its a call to the webservice using the default method, only information that needs passing is username and password, this will then return default menues eg dropdownlist data.
i have got this far and can pass the username and password into the method as you can see below, how do I now execute the call to get the response
thanks

Ok, that helped. I created a proxy class from your wsdl, but I don't see the GetAllCarhireLevelsRequest
For me, based on the service proxt class being called "carhire_V2_2" in my case, the call you are attempting would be something like:
carhire_V2_2 proxy = new carhire_V2_2();
XmlNode node = proxy.GetAllCarhireLevels(
Which returns you an XML node.
Fantasic... i was tring to use a web service reference, that is supposed to take care of creating the proxy and would only give me the methods as choices through the intellisense.
changing the reference to a web reference allowed me to create the proxy as you have done above and returns the results as expected.
though i do have to use the carhire2.carhire_V2_2. to get it to recognise the class
using carhire2; declaration will not work for this
Thank you very much for your help, this has had my head in a twist since last monday
I need to do 2 this with it according to what info i request.
i will need to pass it through xslt to transform it and dispaly the info on the web page.
or i will need to convert it into a data set to use in dropdownlists
the code i have shown above converts it into a xmldoc this will aloow me to pass it to xslt to process.
i have just been looking at creating a data source from the node.
which i think i have just cracked, i have the data now dispalying in a gridview
took a long time to dispaly though so will probably need to find a way of caching the dataset

I think you're getting confused between a method call to the web service and the constructor of the proxy class. When you add a web reference to an existing web service, Visual Studio will create a proxy class that provides a simplified method for you to interact with the service. Essentially doing away with the need for you to manually construct a SOAP request.
In your case the GetAllCarhireLevelsRequest
If you just type "testquery." in the IDE it should give you a list of the supported methods. One, or more, of which should allow you to retrieve that data you require.
