Question

i’m new to web services and i try to find solution but cudn’t find any solution.

i’m trying send object as a parameter to web service.

    [WebMethod]
    public bool CreatePatientService(Patient p)
    {
        AdminService AsRef = new AdminService();
        return AsRef.CreatePatient(p);
    }

my patient class is as follows:

[Serializable]
public class Patient
{

    public string NIC { get; set; }
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Gender { get; set; }
    public string CivilStatus { get; set; }
    public DateTime DOB { get; set; }
    public string Address1 { get; set; }
    public string Address2 { get; set; }
    public string Address3 { get; set; }
}

then i used SOAPUi to called Web service.

i called the request as below :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <tem:CreatePatientService>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <tem:p>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:NIC>15487236</tem:NIC>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:FullName>awdss</tem:FullName>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:FirstName>qewretr</tem:FirstName>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:Surname>qscv</tem:Surname>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:Title>Mr</tem:Title>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:Gender>M</tem:Gender>
            <tem:CivilStatus>S</tem:CivilStatus>
            <tem:DOB>01/02/2002</tem:DOB>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:Address1>nikhno</tem:Address1>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:Address2>asdf</tem:Address2>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <tem:Address3>125</tem:Address3>
         </tem:p>
      </tem:CreatePatientService>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

then its give following error. how can i solve it ?

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

         <detail/>
      </soap:Fault>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

If i removed DOB (Date) then its working properly.

Proper DateTime Format for a Web Service

please help.. Thanks…

Answer 1

A DateTime needs to have time values as well as the date, so the fact that you’re missing the hour, minutes, seconds, etc. is what’s breaking it.

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzzzzz is the expected format.

e.g. 2002-02-01T00:00:00.0
