Web Services/Console Application/C#

Hello Experts,

I was wondering if you could give me a little help. I have created a project with 2 applications in it. One is aN ASP.NET Web Service, called "FindSum1" and the second is a Console Application called "FindSum2".

Within "FindSum1" I created a web method with the following code attached bellow.

I then created "FindSum2" which as previously stated was a Console Application. After that i connected the project via WebService and named it "AddService".

Within the console file I would like to have the user input 5 different integers and it will use the webservice to add them all up and return the answer of the sum. Any help with how I go about this? I know how to do this in the traditional method, but I have became a little lost when it comes to calling the web service. I have also attached the code that I have implemented so far for the Console Application.

This is the code I have so far. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

[WebMethod]
        public int Add(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e)
        {
            return a + b + c + d + e;
        }

Open in new window

namespace FindSum2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
                AddService.Service1SoapClient client = new AddService.Service1SoapClient();
Console.Write("Please Enter Integer 1: ");

      }
    }
}

Open in new window

Assuming the class name of your WebMethod is called FindSum1, the following code should work:

FindSum1.FindSum1 myWebService;
Console.Write(myWebService.Add(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

Thanks for the reply. I had code similar to this and it worked. When I run the console, rather than having pre determined numbers , the console would ask the user to input five numbers instead, and that would take them, add them up and display the result.

Sorry if I had originally confused you. Thanks for the help so far.

If I understand correctly, you have the web service working, but you need to know how to get input for a console application?

If that's the case, check out http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vblanguage/thread/c9410e6c-4462-45aa-8172-af12c07b48f9

You can save each ReadLine to a string and then call the webservice using CInt(ReadLine1), CInt(ReadLine2), etc.

Yeah, I have the web service working 100percent correct. I know in a normal application you would type:-

static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Storage
int value1 = 0;
int value2 = 0;
int total = 0;

// Get first number
Console.Write("Enter a whole number: ");
value1 = System.Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

// Get second number
Console.Write("Enter another whole number: ");
value2 = System.Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

// Add them together
total = value1 + value2;

// Output the answer
Console.WriteLine("The total is {0}", total);
}

etc. etc. to read in values from the user and to add them all up. I'm just not too sure how to edit that to fit into the web service.
