Examples

The following code example is a Web Form that writes the results of a Web Services discovery to disk by invoking the WriteAll method after calls to DiscoverAny and ResolveAll.

 protected void Discover_Click(object Source, EventArgs e)
 {
  // Specify the URL to discover.
  string sourceUrl = DiscoURL.Text;
  // Specify the URL to save discovery results to or read from.
  string outputDirectory = DiscoDir.Text;

      DiscoveryClientProtocol client = new DiscoveryClientProtocol();
  // Use default credentials to access the URL being discovered.
      client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

      try 
      {
        DiscoveryDocument doc;
        
        // Discover the URL for any discoverable documents. 
    doc = client.DiscoverAny(sourceUrl);
   
        // Resolve all possible references from the supplied URL.
        client.ResolveAll();
      }
      catch ( Exception e2) 
      {
        DiscoveryResultsGrid.Columns.Clear();
        Status.Text = e2.Message;
      }

  // Save the discovery results to disk.
      DiscoveryClientResultCollection results = client.WriteAll(outputDirectory, "results.discomap");
      Status.Text = "The following file holds the links to each of the discovery results: <b>" + 
                                  Path.Combine(outputDirectory,"results.discomap") + "</b>";
}

Public Sub Discover_Click(Source As Object, e as EventArgs )
   ' Specify the URL to discover.
   Dim sourceUrl as String = DiscoURL.Text
   ' Specify the URL to save discovery results to or read from.
   Dim outputDirectory As String = DiscoDir.Text

   Dim client as DiscoveryClientProtocol = new DiscoveryClientProtocol()
   ' Use default credentials to access the URL being discovered.
   client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
   Try 
     Dim doc As DiscoveryDocument
     ' Discover the URL for any discoverable documents. 
     doc = client.DiscoverAny(sourceUrl)

 ' Resolve all possible references from the supplied URL.
     client.ResolveAll()
           
    Catch e2 As Exception
       DiscoveryResultsGrid.Columns.Clear()
       Status.Text = e2.Message
    End Try

    ' Save the discovery results to disk.	    
    Dim results As DiscoveryClientResultCollection 
    results = client.WriteAll(outputDirectory, "results.discomap")
    Status.Text = "The following file holds the links to each of the discovery results: <b>" + _ 
                                  Path.Combine(outputDirectory,"results.discomap") + "</b>"
   End Sub

Remarks

The file created with the name of the topLevelFilename parameter in the directory specified by the directory parameter contains a map of saved discovery documents, XML Schema Definition (XSD) schemas and service descriptions. This file can be read in using the ReadAll method to populate the References and Documents properties. The format of the file is XML containing an serialized version of the DiscoveryClientProtocol.DiscoveryClientResultsFile class.

If a file exists with the same name as the topLevelFilename parameter in the directory parameter, that file is overwritten by the WriteAll method. The topLevelFilename parameter must include the fully qualified path if the file does not exist in the current directory.
