WP7 SOAP Web Service with Custom Headers

Evet, page rank lazim gençler. İngilizce yazalım, sevgili yabancı arkadaşlarımız da algılasınlar. Hem zaten bizler zeki insanlarız, İngilizce'de nedir yani?


Fellows! Today I am going to show you how you can add your custom headers to your web service requests. I have searched for it for a while in the past, lost my hope, forced my customers to write a new web service with a naive authentication. 


But the thing we are going to accomplish is not easy at all.

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 

xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<soap:Header>
<AuthHeader xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<Username>string</Username>
<Password>string</Password>
</AuthHeader>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<BolgeSorgu xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" />
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

In here we see the soap envelope that we are going to send to get a response. I added the web service with Service References -> Add.



So this little cutie requires an auth header. This header requires Username and Password. So let's create a class contains those info.

[DataContract(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
public class _ServiceCredential
{
      [XmlAttribute(Form = System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.None)]
      [DataMember(Order = 2)]
      public string Password;
      [DataMember(Order = 1)]
      [XmlAttribute(Form = System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.None)]
      public string Username;
}

So, the order was important in my case, I added it. Those XML Attributes were supposed to work, I did not want any namespaces on elements, but not working, darn.

So we create a static instance of our credentials;

public static _ServiceCredential ServiceCredential = new _ServiceCredential() { Username = "iphoneservs", Password = "sdfsdfssdfsdf" };
That's also finished.
Only thing we need is to create the header and append to the request.
We are going to call a SOAP web service, generated from Visual Studio, so we are going to create it's client.
Service1.ServisSoapClient client = new Service1.ServisSoapClient();
Then we need a event handler
client.BolgeSorguCompleted += new EventHandler<Service1.BolgeSorguCompletedEventArgs>(client_BolgeSorguCompleted);
Here it is.
So the modification we are going to make must be within a OperationContextScope. We create it from the channel of the client. This is how it goes:
using (OperationContextScope scope = new OperationContextScope(client.InnerChannel))
{
     MessageHeader header = MessageHeader.CreateHeader("AuthHeader", "http://tempuri.org/",ServiceCredential );
     OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageHeaders.Add(
header
);     client.BolgeSorguAsync();}
AuthHeader is the name of our header, tempuri is the namespace, service credential is the sh*t.
So that's how it goes fellows. Have fun with your custom credentials.
