Now, use the Web reference name (Ex: IC_WebService in the above example ) within your application to refer to the web service method.

For the InfoCountry SMS Service there is only one method available: SMSInfo. This method is used to send a SMS request to the InfoCountry web service. The method also require parameters in order to process your request, these parameters is as follows:

The method exposed four return (result) properties: These are:

Within your code make two new instances:

The first instance is used to send information to the service:
Dim IC As New IC_WebService.InfoCountry               ' Note: The method to use is: SMSInfo

The second is to read from the service.
Dim ICprop As New IC_WebService.SMSInfoProperties

Now set the response values to the method within the class which is called:
ICprop = IC.SMSInfo( UserName As String, Password As String, RequestType As String, RequestMsg As String, RequestRef as String)

Finally, use the class response properties to view the result:

First! Check if the message has processed successfully, then display the response messages:

  If Not ICprop.IsValid Then
    MessageBox.Show(ICprop.ErrMsg)           ' Error in message.
  Else
    lblResMsg.Text = ICprop.ResponseMsg
    lblResDesc.Text = ICprop.ResponseDesc
  End If

If the message was not processed successfully then try to make a new request to the service. The way you use the response properties is up to you. For those who do not use VB, the principle to access the web service and to use it in code is not much different.

All the messages is based on the JBNumber reference and different business information can be access by replacing one JBNumber with another business JBNumber.

The web service use South Africa as the selected country.
The 'za' reference used within the messages refers to the international two characters standard for South Africa.
Only information from South Africa is available on InfoCountry databases, but the service is internationally available.
