Do you have more information on how you access the scrum works back end and wht level of integration you achieved?

I have been playing with ScrumWorks and .NET too. I was able to make a proxy class in Visual Studio, and then to connect to the ScrumWorks web service and send credentials. So far so good.

But when I try to send commands and read some data back it fails whatever I try.

Could please show the code you used for you test? It would be very helpful.

Oh... what a pity. :(

Well, I appreciate any help very much! ScrumWork API documentation is lightweight, to say the least. The actual ScrumWorks version is 3.0. Here's the URL: www.danube.com/.../index.html

The docs are perhaps Java friendly but not .NET friendly (in my eyes). Anyway, I have used Visual Web Developer 2008 Express (and .NET 3.5) to compile a proxy class for the web service. That seems ok.

I have then tried to call the service this way:

'Set credentials

Dim cred As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "pwd")

'Create an instance of the Proxy class

Dim kalle As New gbgapplserver.ScrumWorksService

'Send credentials

kalle.Credentials = cred

So far so good, but when I try to access functions it fails no matter what I do. I have also received this error: 'HTTP Error 505 - HTTP version not supported'. I don't understand why.

Perhaps it just me able to understand the documentation? I unsure about how to define the API variables and read data. After all, you where able to do it...

So, that's where I am currently.

We were able to solve the problem by forcing the web service (ScrumWorks) to use http ver 1.0 instead of ver 1.1. The ScrumWorks people claims that ".NET does not implement HTTP 1.1 properly (specifically continuations)". Always the same story: We're not the ones to blame. ;)

Whatever, it works now.

Here's my VB.NET code:

       'Set credentials

       Dim cred As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pwd")  

       'Create an instance of the Proxy class

       Dim service As New gbgapplserver.ScrumWorksService

       'Send credentials

       service.Credentials = cred

       service.PreAuthenticate = True

       'Test connection with web service

       Try

           Dim t As New gbgapplserver.getTest

           service.getTest(t)

       Catch

           Response.Write("Error: Connection failed")

           Exit Sub

       End Try

       'Read the list of products

       Dim p As New gbgapplserver.getProducts()

       Dim products As gbgapplserver.ProductWSO() = service.getProducts(p)

       'Write list on screen

       For Each product As gbgapplserver.ProductWSO In products

           Response.Write(product.name & "<br>")

       Next

Here's a link that describes how to tell .NET to use http 1.0 instead of 1.1...

Hope this helps others. I was able to get the sample code building, in C#, pretty quickly, and once I found the above link I was in business.

Thanks!
