Question

I’m not sure why I’m having this problem, but I can only talk to my web service through a User Control or App.xaml.cs. I’m trying to use the service in a simple data oriented class so I didn’t want to use a User Control.

This compiles fine:

//App.xaml.cs
<using statements...>

namespace Sharepoint_Integration_Project
{
    public partial class App : Application
    {
       private SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient SpWSSoap 
           = new SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient();

        public App()
        {
            this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
            this.UnhandledException += this.Application_UnhandledException;

            InitializeComponent();
....

This does not:

//Controller.cs
<using statements copied from App.xml.cs...>

namespace Sharepoint_Integration_Project
{
    private SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient SpWSSoap 
       = new SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient();

    public class Controller
    {

    }
}

Visual Studio reports “Expected class, delegate, enum…” for any reference to SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient.

I’m using the same steps listed here:

My web service’s namespace is Sharepoint_Integration_Project.SharepointWS and I’ve tried fully qualifying it and that hasn’t helped.

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

You have a field declaration outside of the class declaration. Can’t do that.

Change:

namespace Sharepoint_Integration_Project
{
    private SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient SpWSSoap 
       = new SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient();

    public class Controller
    {

    }
}

to:

namespace Sharepoint_Integration_Project
{
    public class Controller
    {
       private SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient SpWSSoap 
          = new SharepointWS.SharepointWebServiceSoapClient();

    }
}
