Question

I have created a webservice that can upload files to my sharepoint site library. Here is the code I have so far:

        [WebMethod]
        public string getLibraries(byte[] contents, String destUrl){
            String message = "1";
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            {
                SPWeb site = new SPSite(destUrl).OpenWeb();
                site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                message = "2";
                EnsureParentFolder(site, destUrl);

                site.Files.Add(destUrl, contents);
                message = "3";
                site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

            });
            return message;
        }

This is working at the moment. But in sharepoint you can add new columns in a library. Like if you would like to add a description of the file or something.

How do I upload those extra columns with the file?

Another thing I am trying to figure out:
Right now it uploads files under the name "System account". I have tried setting the credentials of the webservice to the credentials of the client app but it didn’t change it.

How do I change this to the login of the user who is using the webservice?

example: file uploaded by myDomain/User1

thanks

        [WebMethod]
        public string getLibraries(byte[] contents, String destUrl, string description){
            String message = "1";
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            {
                SPWeb site = new SPSite(destUrl).OpenWeb();
                site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                message = "2";
                EnsureParentFolder(site, destUrl);

                site.Files.Add(destUrl, contents);
                message = "3";

                SPListItem listItem = site.GetListItem(destUrl);
                listItem["Description"] = description;
                listItem.Update();

                site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

            });
            return message;
        }
