Where are the credentials (email & key) provided in .NET?  I can't find anything in the WSDL. 

The example provided in your "Hello Flight" is missing a lot of code.  What is "p"??

Ok I've deduced that "p" is the type "PlaneXMLbeta1Soap". 

Now the problem is that in the example "PlaneXMLbeta1Soap" has a "Credentials" property of type NetworkCredientials which is definately not a property in your distributed version.

What's wrong?

Hey Shawn! Sorry about that; you pointed out a typo in that code sample; that was my fault!

Are you using Visual Studio to add a reference to the web service? In general, once the WSDL has been configured and added through VS, you then reference the web service as an instance class. The line:

Dim PlaneXML As New com.fboweb.PlaneXMLbeta1

Created the instance of the web service's class for you to use. The NetworkCredential references in the lines that follow are what allow you to add your email address and API key.

Hope this helps; if you're still lost, give me some more details on your development environment and I'll help you out as best I can.

Yes, I'm using VS.Net.

In the WSDL I have, there is no reference to a "Credentials" property or method.  In other words, I can't find where to pass the username & API key in PlaneXMLbeta.

The "Credentials" property is actually part of the proxy class that Visual Studio creates for you, not part of the actual WSDL.

So, once you add the reference to the web service in VS, you then instantiate the proxy class with the following line (as referenced in the sample code):

Dim PlaneXML As New com.fboweb.PlaneXMLbeta1

Thats when you set the Credentials property:

Dim c As New NetworkCredential("", "")
PlaneXML.Credentials = c

Do you have the first "dim" line (shown above) in your code?

I appreciate your help with this...

 

There is no "PlaneXMLbeta1" class - only a "PlaneXMLbeta1Soap" class.  This class does not provide a Credentials property.

I even went throuh the WSDL & could not find any "Credentials" anywhere in the document.

 

This is my current coding...

Dim objXML As PlaneXML.PlaneXMLbeta1Soap = New PlaneXML.PlaneXMLbeta1SoapClient

Dim objInfRequest As PlaneXML.FlightInfoRequest

objInfRequest = New PlaneXML.FlightInfoRequest

Dim objInfBody As New PlaneXML.FlightInfoRequestBody

objInfBody.ident = "N5075Y" 'N5075Y

objInfRequest.Body = objInfBody

Dim objResponse As PlaneXML.FlightInfoResponse = objXML.FlightInfo(objInfRequest) 'Code errors here with:

Hmm; let me check a few things; are you using Visual Studio 2008 or 2005? Which .NET version are you using - 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5?

I'm beginning to think you added the reference to the service as a "WCF" service. You should actually add it as a standard "Web Service" - that's what will give you the SOAP proxy that has the "Credentials" property.

Specifically, when you add the reference, you want to add a "Web Reference", and not a "Service" reference.

Let me know if this helps a bit...

That was exactly it.  I'm running now. 

Thank you for your patience. 

Not a problem at all, glad I could help!
