Hello all

I have the following code which submits data to a web service and I want to display the items found in a text box here is my what I have so far

        protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            WebApplication4.serviceRef.SearchService search = new WebApplication4.serviceRef.SearchService();


            List<WebApplication4.serviceRef.Project> listproj = new List<WebApplication4.serviceRef.Project>();

            listproj = search.SearchWithStringParamters(txtMainTech.Text, txtHours.Text, txtEffort.Text, txtStDate.Text).Projects.ToList();

            for (int i = 0; i < listproj.Count; i++)

            {

                string projList = listproj.ToString();

                txtresult.Text = projList;

            }

        }

What does your WebService look like? Are you passing back the response in XML? You should be able to grab that response and set the text. What are you getting back from the Web Service right now?

Currently

System.Collections.Generic.List`1[WebApplication4.serviceRef.Project]

Is being displayed in the textbox . . . I dont want the xml to be returned just simply a list of all the search results

[cdg10620]

I understand that but the webservice is going to return one of two things: either XML or JSON and you will need to read the results and use that data to populate the textbox.

The results from the web service are in XML

could you explain more on what you intend to do with the response XML

WOOH

for (int i = 0; i < listproj.Count; i++)
            {
                string projList = listproj.ToString();
                txtresult.Text = projList;
            }

This code does nothing man Unless the Object you are iterating is a an Array !!

The output of the xml is thus

      
<Result>
<Projects>
<Project>
<EntityKey>
<EntitySetName>Project</EntitySetName>
<EntityContainerName>ProjectDBEntities1</EntityContainerName>
<EntityKeyValues>
<EntityKeyMember>
<Key>ProjectId</Key>
<Value xsi:type="xsd:int">1</Value>
</EntityKeyMember>
</EntityKeyValues>
</EntityKey>
<ProjectId>1</ProjectId>
<ProjectName>Project 1</ProjectName>
<EstimatedHours>50</EstimatedHours>
<EstimatedEffort>10</EstimatedEffort>
<MainTechnology>Java</MainTechnology>
<dteStart>2010-01-01T00:00:00</dteStart>
<dteEnd>2010-01-31T00:00:00</dteEnd>
<Active>true</Active>
−
<AdministratorReference>
−
<EntityKey>
<EntitySetName>Administrator</EntitySetName>
<EntityContainerName>ProjectDBEntities1</EntityContainerName>
−
<EntityKeyValues>
−
<EntityKeyMember>
<Key>AdministratorId</Key>
<Value xsi:type="xsd:int">1</Value>
</EntityKeyMember>
</EntityKeyValues>
</EntityKey>
</AdministratorReference>
</Project>
</Projects>
<IsExactMatch>true</IsExactMatch>
</Result>

I want to extract all the entity values ie ProjectName, MainTechnology, EstimatedHours etc.. and display them in the textbox

[cdg10620]

You should probably de-serialize it to an object and then use each of the properties and bind to the textbox text.
