Consume a QAAWS with Visual Studio 2010

Question

I been given a QAAWS and I need to pull out the data from it. For privacy issues I cannot give you the QAAWS but it is the same as this one.

I added the wsdl as a service reference, but I am not sure how to get the data since I have to enter the login and password. I can use SOAPUI and obtain an XML file that I can use but I want to make the process more automatic where I use the QAAWS with my website.

I haven't had any luck searching any good tutorials or guides. Has anyone dealt with these services before?

You can do the following:

1. In Visual Studio 10 create a new Console Application
2. Next add a web reference and use the web service WSDL URL given to you.

3. On the program.cs file write the following code (TestWeb here is the name of your Web Reference.):

   using System;
   using System.Collections.Generic;
   using System.Linq;
   using System.Text;
   using
   ConsoleApplication1.TestWeb;
   namespace ConsoleApplication1
       {
       class Program
           {
           static void Main(string[] args)
               {
               ConsoleApplication1.TestWeb.TestService test1 = new 
               ConsoleApplication1.TestWeb.TestService();
               String message, creatorname, creationdateformatted, description, universe;
               DateTime creationdate;
               int queryruntime, fetchedrows;
               ConsoleApplication1.TestWeb.Row[] row = test1.runQueryAsAService("<cms username>", "<password>", out message, out creatorname, out creationdate, out    creationdateformatted, out description, out universe, out queryruntime , out fetchedrows);
               int resultCount = row.Length;
               Console.WriteLine("Message = " + message);
               Console.WriteLine("Creator Name = " + creatorname);
               Console.WriteLine("Creation Date = " + creationdate.ToString());
               Console.WriteLine("Creation Date Formatted = " + creationdateformatted);
               Console.WriteLine("Description = " + description);
               Console.WriteLine("Universe = " + universe);
               Console.WriteLine("Query Run Time = " + queryruntime);
               Console.WriteLine("Fetched Rows = " + fetchedrows);
               for (int i = 0; i < resultCount; i++)
                   {
                   Console.WriteLine(row[i].ShipperID + "  " + row[i].CompanyName + " " + row[i].Phone);
                   }
               Console.Read();
               }
           }
       }
   

The username and the password can be written into the code if you want. This is originally from this page. I tested it against my own Web Service and it worked.
