Web Services Compression and the Compact Framework - Sample code from MEDC Oz

  • Article

Tada, this is the tidied up Web Services Compression sample code from my Connectivity session at the MEDC Australia event.

The sample code was borrowed from https://www.businessanyplace.net/?p=wscompress2 :-) Thanks guys!!

I've posted my sample code on Darren's most excellent www.Projectdistributor.net at https://projectdistributor.net/Projects/Project.aspx?projectId=216 and it's dependent on the "SharpZipLib" from https://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx

If you update the Web Reference then you must go back and tweak the associated Reference.cs proxy file and add back the [CompressionSoapExtension] attribute.

For example

[System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("https://tempuri.org/GetCompressedData", RequestNamespace="https://tempuri.org/", ResponseNamespace="https://tempuri.org/", Use=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
[CompressionSoapExtension]
public System.Data.DataSet GetCompressedData() {
object[] results = this.Invoke("GetCompressedData", new object[0]);
return ((System.Data.DataSet)(results[0]));
}

Cheers Dave
