To develop the client application that uses TrackStudio SOAP API you are to: 

1. Enable TrackStudio SOAP API 

2. Start TrackStudio Enterprise 

3. Create XML Web service proxy classes. 

Create a proxy class for each service. Every proxy class must be a separate namespace. To generate a proxy to access the User service execute the following command:

wsdl.exe http://localhost:8888/TrackStudio/services/User?wsdl
/out:dll/UserService.cs /namespace:User

As a result the UserService.cs proxy class will be created in the dll folder. Repeat these steps for other services and link all the created proxy classes to the ts.dll library:

csc.exe /t:library /out:ts.dll dll\*.cs

4. Implement client application. In order to work with SOAP API you should first perform authentication. To do this:

• Create proxy class instance

UserService uSrv = new UserService();

• Set TrackStudio SOAP Service URL

tSrv.Url = "http://localhost:8888/TrackStudio/services/User";

• Call the authenticate method

string sessionId = uSrv.authenticate("root", "root");

The session id received as the result of authentication can be used to call other methods. 

The code presented below shows the example of the simple .NET client application:

using System;
using User;
public class SoapTest {
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
        UserService uSrv = new UserService();
        uSrv.Url = "http://localhost:8888/TrackStudio/services/User";
        string sessionId = uSrv.authenticate("root", "root");
        Console.WriteLine("Session ID is: " + sessionId);
    }
}

5. Compile the client application

csc.exe /reference:ts.dll SoapTest.cs

6. Run the client application

C:\soap\dotNET>SoapTest.exe
Session ID is: 297e234cfbf9889500fbf989ee890012
