• 0.1 Initial Version
• 0.2 Clarifying the "show all files" option if nested Web Reference contents are not visible

Prerequisites:

This assumes you have MS Visual Web Developer 2010 Express installed and configured for your dev environment.

MS Visual Web Developer 2010 Express can be downloaded at: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/

Once installed, we will bring this project into MS Visual Web Developer Express. To do this:

1.) Unzip/move the contents of this zip file to your Visual Studio 2010 "Projects" directory. 2.) To open the project, navigate to Webservices-dotNET-Sample-ProjectCascadeTestCascadeTest and double-click on the CascadeTest.csproj file

After this you should see the Cascade Webservices project show up in your Visual Web Developer Express window. Do not be alarmed if there are compilation errors, this is because you still need to add the C# client stubs for interacting with the web services layer.

To do this:

1.) Right-click on the project ("CascadeTest") in the Solution Explorer window & select "Add Web Reference." 2.) In the URL field enter the url to your Cascade AssetOperationService end point (i.e. http://your-cascade-instance/ws/services/AssetOperationService?wsdl). In the "Web reference name" field, enter "CascadeWS" and click "Add Reference." 3.) Expand the newly added "CascadeWS" Web Reference in the Solution Explorer window and open the Reference.cs file (Note: if you don't see any files under the "CascadeWS" reference, click the "Show All Files" butten in the Solution Explorer toolbar). This is the auto-generated C# implementation for the Cascade web services WSDL. This file WILL NOT WORK as-is. 4.) Open the Webservices-dotNET-Sample-ProjectCascadeWSDL.cs file in a separate editor window and copy the entire contents of this file to your clipboard. 5.) Return to the Reference.cs file opened in step #3 and replace the entire contents of this file with the code copied from CascadeWSDL.cs and save. 6.) Right-click on the project ("CascadeTest") in the Solution Exploerer window & select "Build." 7.) Expand "CascadeWSTest.aspx" from the Solution Explorer window and open the "CascadeWSTest.aspx.cs" file. 8.) Verify that the selected asset path and authentication information is valid for your Cascade instance and modify as necessary.

At this point you can test your application by clicking the "Start Debugging" button from the toolbar at the top (it's the green "play" button).
