Change Object name in generated WSDL

Good day,

I have a Web Method that uses a simple custom object, name Client, as a parameter, and also returns a Client.

However, in the generated WSDL, I want "element name="Client" " to be changed to "element name="THE_CLIENT", but without changing the class name.

Is there a way to specify that an object should have another name in the wsdl, Something like [WebMethod(Description="DESCRIPTION")], but for a class?

Thank you, have a nice day!

Hi,

I think this link provide all information you need:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2baksw0z.aspx

By default, an XML element name is determined by the class or member name. In a simple class named Book, a field named ISBN will produce an XML element tag <ISBN>, as shown in the following example.

Visual Basic

Copy Code

PublicClass BookPublic ISBNAsStringEndClass' When an instance of the Book class is serialized, it might' produce this XML:' <ISBN>1234567890</ISBN>.

C#

Copy Code

publicclass Book{publicstring ISBN;}// When an instance of the Book class is serialized, it might// produce this XML:// <ISBN>1234567890</ISBN>.

This default behavior can be changed if you want to give the element a new name. The following code shows how an attribute enables this by setting theElementName property of aXmlElementAttribute.

Visual Basic

Copy Code

PublicClass TaxRates < XmlElement(ElementName ="TaxRate")> _Public ReturnTaxRateAsDecimalEndClass

C#

Copy Code

publicclass TaxRates{ [XmlElement(ElementName ="TaxRate")]public decimal ReturnTaxRate;}

For more information about attributes, seeExtending Metadata Using Attributes. For a list of attributes that control XML serialization, seeAttributes That Control XML Serialization.

Causing postback

I have written some javascript that async calls a webservice every second. If the service returns true, I want to cause a postback, with client script that can be handled on the server and tell a particular update panel to update in the server side handler.

I also wish to construct event arguments on the client to be passed as part of the post back.

How do I do this?

I need to do something similar, and I'm wondering if you could do it by having your page implement the IPostBackEventHandler. This interface requires that you implement a RaisePostBackEvent method. This method takes a string argument, and you could update your updatepanels in this method. Does anyone know if this approach would work?

Thanks,

Nick

hello.

ipostbackeventhandler is not the answer if you need to update updatepanels. what you could do is:

1. use the postbackaction

2. add a hidden dummy button to the updatepanel and force the submit by calling its click method

Nope, dont need to do that. ipostbackeventhandler is the way to go.

I add some javascript to the page via:

Microsoft.Web.UI.ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(
this,
this.GetType(),
"UIService_Agent",
string.Format(
"function CheckAgentTimer()" +
"{{" +
"UIService.ShouldInteruptAgent(OnAgentTimerSucceeded,OnAgentTimerFailure);" +
"}}" +
"function OnAgentTimerSucceeded(result)" +
"{{" +
"if(eval(result))" +
"{{" +
"{0};" +
"}}" +
"setTimeout(\"CheckAgentTimer()\",{1});" +
"}}" +
"function OnAgentTimerFailure()" +
"{{" +
"setTimeout(\"CheckAgentTimer()\",60000);" +
"}}" +
"setTimeout(\"CheckAgentTimer()\",10000);",
this.Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(this,AgentTasksTimer.AGENT_PROCESS),
this.timerInterval
),
true);

and then I implement the interface ipostbackeventhandler

public void RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument)
{
if (eventArgument == AGENT_PROCESS)
{
//Is There Work for the Agent?
if (WorkItemActionRequired != null && IsWorkItemActionRequired())
{
WorkItemActionRequired(this, new WorkItemEventArgs(ResourceReceiverService.GetUserWork(((IUserPrincipal)Context.User).Credentials.UserId, true)));
}
}
}

Messy I know, but bare with me...

You can then request that update panels are updated on the server i.e. myUpdatePanel.Update

This works!

How do you call the click method on a hidden dummy button?

hello.

you must get ?a refernce for the html control and call its click method:

$get("your_button_client_side_id").click();

But will this cause a partial or full post back?

Thanks,

Nick

hello.

it depend: if it's an asp.net button and it's placed inside an updatepanel (or if it's outside the updatepanel but it's configured as a trigger) you'll get a partial postback.

That might do the trick then. Right now I have implemented IPostBackHandler, but it causes a full post-back. I just want to do a partial. How do I make the button invisible, set Visible to false, or set visible to hidden in the button style?

Thanks,

Nick

hello again.
well, i'd just add syle="display:none" in the asp.net button declaration.

This will also allow me to put code server-side?

Thanks,

CascadingDropDown returns [Method Error 12031] after upgrade to 1.0 Beta

After upgrading from the July CTP to 1.0 Beta all my CascadingDropDown's have stoped working. I only get [Method error 12031] in return an all of them. I hade the same problem when implementing them the first time but I then found the answer in thread 1393072 and referenced threads. This time however I am not able to find anything that helps me. I have tried to migrate my July CTP projekt to a new empty 1.0 Beta project but it doesn't help. Have anyone else hade the same problem?

I am grateful for any suggestions and tips!!

Have you made sure to decorate your service class with this attribute?

[Microsoft.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService()]
public class MyService : WebService
{
...
}

Thanks allot!

Now i works just fine. One can wonder why that line isn't in the walkthrough for CascadingDropDown!

Thanks a lot for that! That's been bugging me all morning. Although I didn't have [Method Error 12031], I had [Method Error 500], this solution still worked for me. It really should be in the walkthrough
I Agree! This should be added RIGHT AWAY!!!

Hey Guys,

Actually there is some documentation and I'll point you to where I found most of my upgrade info. Garbin's recent post on his blog has three links to some very vital information.

http://aspadvice.com/blogs/garbin/archive/2006/10/20/MS-AJAX-v1.0-Beta-and-Ajax-Control-Toolkit-released_2100_.aspx

The CTP-to-Beta whitepaper is where I found the not for adding the ScriptService attribute.

Hope this helps.

The method error 12030 still appears for me when I use the CTP and the specified attribute.

Regards

Vinit

Did you change the return type of your methods that populate your drop downs to return an array of AjaxControlToolkit.CascadingDropDownNameValue objects?

All web methods for child drop downs must have a signature that conforms to the following:

[WebMethod]
public AjaxControlToolkit.CascadingDropDownNameValue[] GetDataForMyChildDropDown(string knownCategoryValues, string category)

You can find this in the CTP-to-Beta whitepaper I believe.

Hiya.

Had the same problem and finally found out why. None of the other things suggested worked. Thanks to Steve Clements for that one... http://geekswithblogs.net/steveclements/archive/2006/10/23/94893.aspx

The web service class either needs

[Microsoft.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]

or

using Microsoft.Web.Script.Services;

namespace Clm.Web.Services

{

[ScriptService]

publicclassFoo

Your most welcome :)

Steve

Same problem, but using only pagemethods...

What changes do I need to get it working?

Can you post some code?

Hi,

I've run into the same error. However, when I change the line in the webservice.vb file from:

<System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService ()>'

to:

<Microsoft.Web.Script.Serices.ScriptService ()
I get the error 'Type Microsoft.Web.Script.Serices.ScriptService' is not defined'

The whole "snippet":

I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
