Developing a WCF Service Library and Hosting it with a Custom App Using VS2K8 - Testing the WCF custom hosted Service: source code
(Page 5 of 5 )
For the Windows form previously created, make the modifications to the existing code so that it matches with the following:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim proxy As New ProductService.ProductServiceClient
("WSHttpBinding_IProductService")
Dim objProduct As ProductService.Product = proxy.GetProductInfo
(Me.txtProductID.Text)
proxy.Close()
With objProduct
Me.txtProductName.Text = .ProductName
Me.txtUnitPrice.Text = .UnitPrice
Me.txtUnitsInStock.Text = .UnitsInStock
Me.txtUnitsOnOrder.Text = .UnitsOnOrder
End With
End Sub
Private Sub btnGetAllProducts_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGetAllProducts.Click
Dim proxy As New ProductService.ProductServiceClient
("WSHttpBinding_IProductService")
Me.ListBox1.DataSource = proxy.GetProductNames
proxy.Close()
End Sub
End Class
Make the "NorthwindClient" a "Startup project"
While still keeping the service in "started" mode independently, hit F5 to execute and test the application (which accesses and retrieves information from the WCF service hosted earlier). If everything works fine, you should be able see the output as follows (Fig 15):
