  1. Install the ServiceStackVS extension
  2. Add the nuget package ServiceStack.Client
  3. Add References to System.Runtime.Serialization and System.Net
  4. Right-click on the project and choose "Add ServiceStack Reference..."
  5. Enter the address of the host and name the service

  6. Add the following Code:

    Code Block
    languagec#
    titleUsing ServiceStack.Client
    // Authenticate
var client = new ServiceStack.JsonServiceClient("http://api.jiwa.com.au");
var authResponse = client.Send<ServiceStack.AuthenticateResponse>(new ServiceStack.Authenticate()
{
	provider = "credentials",
	UserName = "api",
	Password = "password",
	RememberMe = true
});

// Read a debtor
var serviceStackDebtorResponse = client.Get(new DebtorGetRequest { AccountNo = "1001" });

  1. Add References to System.Runtime.Serialization and System.Net
  2. Add the nuget package Newtonsoft.Json
  3. Add a new class file to the project and paste the code from the code generator of the API - you can get this by clicking on the "Generate C#" link on the metadata page:

  4. Create a cookie aware WebClient using this code - this is needed to send the session Id with every request:

    Code Block
    languagec#
    titleCookie Aware WebClient
    public class CookieAwareWebClient : WebClient
{
	public CookieAwareWebClient()
	{
		CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
	}
	public CookieContainer CookieContainer { get; private set; }

	protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
	{
		var request = (HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(address);
		request.CookieContainer = CookieContainer;
		return request;
	}
}

  5. Add the following code:

    Code Block
    languagec#
    titleUsing WebClient
    using (var webclient = new CookieAwareWebClient())
{
    // Authenticate
	var reqparm = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection();
	reqparm.Add("username", "api");
	reqparm.Add("password", "password");
	byte[] responsebytes = webclient.UploadValues("http://api.jiwa.com.au/auth", "POST", reqparm);
	string responsebody = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(responsebytes);

	ServiceStack.AuthenticateResponse webClientAuthResponse = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ServiceStack.AuthenticateResponse>(responsebody);

	// Read a debtor
	responsebody = webclient.DownloadString("http://api.jiwa.com.au:80/debtor/1001");                
	JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaServiceModel.DebtorGetResponse webClientDebtorGetResponse = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaServiceModel.DebtorGetResponse>(responsebody);
}
