Calling web service from vb6

[Manni]

If you don't want to use an extra tool yust use the
MSXML component and build a soap header!

We have published a webservice application in dotNet. We can call the
webservice fine from vb.net.
But, I need help trying to call it from my visual basic 6 application.

Thanks in advance.

I have not had much experience with Soap. Do know of any good references?

There is a lot of XML / WS information out there but maybe you start like I did!

Call the asmx file, choose a method and you will see how the service should be called!

I dont know, if there is a HTTPRequest in VB, but if it is yust give it a try by calling your service
with GET (shown in the ASMX page) like http://myserver/myservice.asmx?..........

You'l get back the XML as an easy parseable string (direkt or via XMLDOM) without a soap envelope!

You can even see it if your WS uses simple datatypes, by calling it from the ASMX page with IE.

Mayur,
In addition to Manni's suggestion.

The easiest way may be to load either the SOAP Toolkit 3.0 or SOAP Toolkit
2.0.

The following would be a good starting point.

Hope this helps

Thanks for all you help so far.
I downloaded the Soap Toolkit 3.0 and got the following code to run
successfully.

Dim x As New MSSOAPLib30.SoapClient30
x.MSSoapInit ("http://192.168.1.23:8081/smgnethub/default.asmx?wsdl")
Dim hash As String
Dim sessionlength As Integer
Dim hubaddresses As String
Dim message As String
message = x.AuthenticateGateway("login", "password", "192.168.1.1",
CLng(123), hash, sessionlength, hubaddresses)

But, when I try to implement the same code in the ASP:
Dim x
set x = server.createobject("MSSOAP.SoapClient30")
Dim hash
Dim sessionlength
Dim hubaddresses
Dim message
x.MSSoapInit
("http://smgtest.servicemg.com/smgnethub/default.asmx?wsdl")

I get the following error.

Error Type:
WSDLReader (0x80020009)
WSDLReader:XML Parser failed at linenumber 1, lineposition 0, reason is: No
data is available for the requested resource. HRESULT=0x1: Incorrect
function. - WSDLReader:Loading of the WSDL file failed HRESULT=0x80070057:
The parameter is incorrect. - Client:One of the parameters supplied is
invalid. HRESULT=0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect.

Any idea why this would happen?

Mayur,
Unfortunately I have not used either of the SOAP Toolkits from ASP.

Can your browse to the URL you gave in the ASP, it almost sounds like its
not resolving to the server...

Hope this helps
