Requirements
The WSDL is provided to allow you to be able to construct SOAP messages that conform to it.
It is recommended you use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008 or later.
Each customer must be granted permission to use the eClaims web service. To get started,
a sample program showing how to access the web site using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and C# is provided.
Sample
Code Snippet
Here is a sample of how to connect to the web service to obtain a list of occupations for a trust
CETServiceClient proxy = new CETServiceClient (); ;
string username = "ValidEClaimsUserName";
string password = "ValidPassword";
// Set the username and password to a valid eClaims username and password using an existing account
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = username;
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;
// Get list of valid occupations for the Thurston Trust
eClaims.API.Occupations [] occArray = null;
eClaims.API.GetMsg msg = eClaims.API.GetMsg;
eClaims.MVWS.WSResults wsResults = new eClaims.MVWS.WSResults()
msg.firmValue = “string returned in result”;
try
{
	wsResults = proxy.GetCDOccupation (msg);
	occArray = wsResults.GetCDOccupationResult;
	int myCount = occArray.Count();
	// Display all attorneys to the console
	for (int ind = 0; ind < occArray.Length; ind++)
	{
	Console.WriteLine(occArray [ind].name.ToString() + " - " + occArray [ind].occID.ToString());
	}
	// Close the Session
	proxy.Close();
}
catch (System.ServiceModel.FaultException<eClaims.API.eclaimsAppFault> ee)
{
	Console.WriteLine(" Fault Exception Occcured: " + ee.Detail.Reason);
	proxy.Close();
	return;
}
Extensive Sample Program
A more extensive sample is provided by downloading the CET VS 2008 project at
https://ws.claimsres.com/CET%20Web%20Service/CETSample/SampleConsoleCET.zip
This sample shows how to add a claimant and claim to the eClaims system. There are several areas
of code that you must modify to get this to work for you. First, please verify the app.config file
endpoint address is set to:
https://ws.claimsres.com/WSCET/CETService.svc
<endpoint address="https://ws.claimsres.com/WSCET/CETService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_CETWS"
contract="CETService" name="BasicHttpBinding_CETWS" />
Next, open the program.cs file and find the Main. Set the username and password to an authorized eClaims
user. At this point, you should be able to build the program and execute it from a console window to see
if you can get a list of attorneys for your firm and if you are able to add a new MV claim for the new
claimant John Smith (please note, your user must have permissions to create claims for the MV trust).
Steps to Creating a VS 2008 application
To create a Windows Application project from scratch using VS 2008:
1. Select File->New->Project
2. Select Windows and then Console Application (note, this could be any Windows or Web project type)
3. Specify the location and name of the project (i.e. “SampleConsole”)
4. Open a “Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt” window
5. Create the proxy against the wsdl files supplied by entering the following command:
svcutil /d:. /o:serviceproxy.cs /config:app.config .\*.wsdl .\*.xsd
6. Copy the serviceproxy.cs and app.config file to your new project and include both files in the project
7. Add in a reference to System.Runtime.Serialization and System.ServiceModel .Net dlls into your project.
8. Add in code similar to the sample above including your eClaims user name and password for each web service call.
9. Write your program to make eClaims Web service calls and test
