Integration with another system

I have a problem. I have a simple application (in VB.NET) which connect with my shop database (in MySQL). And now I want to integrate this application with a SenditAPI system. Sendit is a courier company. My aim is to send the contact details of the customer (from my datebase) to the system (SenditAPI).

I have just simply added a web references to this system in my application. And I don't know what to do next. I have never done it before so I don't know what should I do next. I read SenditAPI documentation but there are only methods and nothing else.

I will be very glad for any kind of tips.

This is WSDL service so you have probably donwloaded the file

https://api.sendit.pl/webservice.php?wsdl

and added a service reference. They have also a sandbox, you should first register with Sandbox service and use the regular service only with bug-less code. Check http://sandbox.sendit.pl/sandbox-info.

Check alsoo this answer: How to use a WSDL

Mark especially the answer that starts with Use WSDL.EXE utility to generate a Web Service proxy from WSDL. Run from Windows start menu Visual Studio Command Prompt and there type

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>wsdl /out:c:\MyProject\SendItplProxy.cs https://api-sandbox.sendit.pl/webservice.php?wsdl

It creates SendItplProxy.cs for SendIt sandbox web service in the folder c:\MyProject. Add it to your project and then you will have your methods:

 SendItpl x = new SendItpl();
 x.SIUserLogin("a", "b", "c", "pl");

You will also have to add reference to System.Web.Services.

And yes - the best solution you found yourself: use Framework 2.0 WebServices, so I add it to this answer.

Add a Service reference and then click on Advanced and then follow this picture:

Add legacy web service
