Generated

The web service here is most likely a single-endpoint SOAP API that accepts one XML payload (as a string) and returns XML (as a string). For this explains why the generated proxy shows only one string-in/string-out method: the vendor packs authentication, product selection and search fields into one XML document. is right that it is straightforward once the payload shape is correct, and is correct to point at vendor tech support for sample requests and test credentials.

A practical, reliable workflow:

  • Inspect the WSDL (Visual Studio "Add Web Reference" or "Add Service Reference") to confirm the call signature and namespaces.
  • Build the XML payload programmatically instead of concatenating strings. Use System.Xml.Linq (XDocument/XElement) so elements, namespaces and date formats are correct.
  • Call the generated proxy method and capture the returned XML string.
  • Parse the returned XML with XDocument or XmlDocument and extract the nodes you need.

Example pattern (replace placeholders with actual proxy class and element names):

using System.Xml.Linq;

var req = new XDocument(
  new XElement("Request",
    new XElement("Auth",
      new XElement("Username", "YOUR_USER"),
      new XElement("Password", "YOUR_PASS")
    ),
    new XElement("Search",
      new XElement("FirstName", firstName),
      new XElement("LastName", lastName),
      new XElement("DOB", dob.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))
    )
  )
);

string requestXml = req.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
var proxy = new ServiceProxy();    // substitute generated proxy type
string responseXml = proxy.Call(requestXml);
var resp = XDocument.Parse(responseXml);

Troubleshooting notes: confirm required XML namespaces and exact element names with the vendor (they often differ from obvious names), watch date formats, check for required SOAP headers or SOAPAction, and capture raw HTTP traffic with Fiddler or enable .NET network tracing to see the actual request/response. For how to create/consume a web reference in Visual Studio and for building/parsing XML with LINQ to XML, see the Microsoft documentation: and .
