Invokes an XML Web service method synchronously using SOAP.
Syntax
Parameters
- method_name
- a string
- parameters
Returns
An array of objects that contains the return value and any reference or out parameters of the derived class method.
Remarks
Typically, you do not call the SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(string, Object[]) method directly, unless you are building your own proxy class for an XML Web service.
A proxy class generated by the Web Services Description Language tool (Wsdl.exe) for an XML Web service exposes the XML Web service methods as names off of the proxy class. The proxy class calls the SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(string, Object[]) method to invoke an XML Web service method call. For example, if an XML Web service exposes an XML Web service method named Add, the proxy class also contains a method named Add. Within the code for the Add method in the proxy class, a synchronous call is made to the XML Web service method through the SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(string, Object[]) method and then the results are placed into the expected return type for Add.
The methodName parameter is used to find the custom attributes that may have been added to the method, such as System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute. System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute provides additional information on the derived method which is required for the SOAP protocol.
