ch 19 adding windows Form to

redleopard81 · June 22nd, 2011, 02:45 PM

in chapter 19 try out("Creating a Client Windows Application),

I can not add a windows form application to the WebServiceSample

project, because it doesn't show in the adding new item list.

anyone knows why...?

You need to do a "add new project" while selecting the solution inside the solution explorer instead of "add new item" while selecting the project

Hope this helps.

In VCE all I get is "Class" - no option to create a Form. Am I doing this right? Can this be done in VCE?

I wound up deploying the webservice on my local drive and referencing the local host address in the webform. In so doing I discovered that on page 66 number 4 it should read

void client_ReverseStringCompleted(object sender, WebServicesSample.ReverseStringCompletedEventArgs e)

The WebServicesSample is missing in the text.

I have problem with that try out:

Code compiles, in windows forms,text2.text gives reversed string,as expected,but then throws exception:

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var client = new ServiceReference1.sampleserviceSoapClient();
textBox2.Text = client.reversestring(textBox1.Text);
client.reversestringCompleted += client_ReverseStringCompleted;
client.reversestringAsync(textBox1.Text);
}
void client_ReverseStringCompleted(object sender, reversestringCompletedEventArgs e)

{
if (e.Error != null)
{
textBox2.Text = e.Result;
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Error.Message);
}

}
}
}

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source=WindowsFormsApplication1
StackTrace:

InnerException:

This only happens when i call Service Asynchronously,try it out on page 651 works fine.

@Frodo,i am using VCE,when you create service,you must launch Microsoft Visual c# Express 2010,create new windows form and add service reference,of course Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express must remain open.I hope this helps.

@dampyr,

you need to change the if statement in the event handler. If there's not an error the textBox2.Text result should be filled, otherwise the error message should be shown. In the original case the else part was only accessed when e.Error was null, and of course if there the Message property is accessed a null reference exception is thrown.

Code:

if (e.Error == null)
{
  textBox2.Text = e.Result;
}
else
{
  MessageBox.Show(e.Error.Message);
}
