Connecting to NAV Web Services from the Cloud–part 5 out of 5
If you haven’t already read part 4 (and the prior parts) you should do so here, before continuing to read this post.

When we are done, your Windows Phone 7 will look like: During the other posts, I have been describing how to make the Proxy and one way of securing this....

Connecting to NAV Web Services from the Cloud–part 4 out of 5
If you haven’t already read part 3 you should do so here, before continuing to read this post. By now you have seen how to create a WCF Service Proxy connected to NAV with an endpoint hosted on the Servicebus (Windows Azure AppFabric). By now, I haven’t written anything about security yet and the Proxy1 which is hosted on the Servicebus is available for everybody to connect to anonymously. In the real world, I cannot imagine a lot of scenarios...

Logging the XML generated from .net or received from NAV WS
When working with Web Services using languages who doesn’t natively have Web Services support (like Javascript and NAV self) you have to create a SOAP envelope yourself in the correct format. Of course you can do so by looking at the WSDL, understanding SOAP and using theory – or… – you can create a small C# application, invoke the Web Service you want to and see what XML .net creates for this. You can also see what XML you get...

Connecting to NAV Web Services from C# using Service Reference (code version)
You should read the post about connecting to NAV Web Services from C# using Service Reference (config file version) before continuing here.

Connecting to NAV Web Services from C# using Service Reference (config file version)
Prerequisites Please read this post to get a brief explanation of the scenario I will implement in C# using Web References.

Basic knowledge about C# is required to understand the following post:-) Version and download I am using Visual Studio 2008 professional with...
