C Sharp - Metasoft Development Network

Please configure the service endpoint correctly in the app.config before attempting to use the client.

<MetaSoftClientCS.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="MetaSoftClientCS_MetaSoftSevice_MetasoftTVAService"
                serializeAs="String">
                <value>http://metaservices.net/metasoft/services/MetasoftTVAService</value>
            </setting>
        </MetaSoftClientCS.Properties.Settings>

TestClient class

Add in the imports:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using MetaSoftClientCS.MetaSoftService;

Define the namespace and constructs:

namespace MetaSoftClientCS
{
    public partial class TestClient : Form
    {
        MetasoftTVAService obj = new MetasoftTVAService();
        get_Data_ResultType res1 = new get_Data_ResultType();

        public TestClient()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

GetData Method

Make the getData method and initiate the necessary objects:

get_DataType getDataType = new get_DataType();
get_DataTypeQueryConstraints queryConstraints = new get_DataTypeQueryConstraints();
PredicateBagType predicateBagType = new PredicateBagType();
BinaryPredicateType binaryPredicateType = new BinaryPredicateType();

Define the query:

System.Xml.XmlQualifiedName qname = new System.Xml.XmlQualifiedName("Title");

binaryPredicateType.fieldID = qname;
binaryPredicateType.fieldValue = "H";
binaryPredicateType.test = BinaryPredicateTestType.contains;

BinaryPredicateType[] binaryPredicateTypes = new BinaryPredicateType[1];
binaryPredicateTypes[0] = binaryPredicateType;

predicateBagType.Items = binaryPredicateTypes;
queryConstraints.Item = predicateBagType;
getDataType.QueryConstraints = queryConstraints;

RequestedTablesTypeTable requestTable = new RequestedTablesTypeTable();
requestTable.type = RequestedTablesTypeTableType.ProgramInformationTable;
RequestedTablesTypeTable[] requestTables = new RequestedTablesTypeTable[1];
requestTables[0] = requestTable;

getDataType.RequestedTables = requestTables;

Make the request:

res1 = obj.getData(getDataType);

Now, we get the result and data:

TVAMainType tva = res1.TVAMain;
if (tva != null)
            {
                Array prgInfos = res1.TVAMain.ProgramDescription.ProgramInformationTable.ProgramInformation;
                foreach (object BasicDescription in prgInfos)
                {
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("{0}", BasicDescription);
                    }
                }
            }

It should all come together like this:

private void bnGetData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            get_DataType getDataType = new get_DataType();
            get_DataTypeQueryConstraints queryConstraints = new get_DataTypeQueryConstraints();
            PredicateBagType predicateBagType = new PredicateBagType();
            BinaryPredicateType binaryPredicateType = new BinaryPredicateType();

            System.Xml.XmlQualifiedName qname = new System.Xml.XmlQualifiedName("Title");

            binaryPredicateType.fieldID = qname;
            binaryPredicateType.fieldValue = "H";
            binaryPredicateType.test = BinaryPredicateTestType.contains;

            BinaryPredicateType[] binaryPredicateTypes = new BinaryPredicateType[1];
            binaryPredicateTypes[0] = binaryPredicateType;

            predicateBagType.Items = binaryPredicateTypes;
            queryConstraints.Item = predicateBagType;
            getDataType.QueryConstraints = queryConstraints;

            RequestedTablesTypeTable requestTable = new RequestedTablesTypeTable();
            requestTable.type = RequestedTablesTypeTableType.ProgramInformationTable;
            RequestedTablesTypeTable[] requestTables = new RequestedTablesTypeTable[1];
            requestTables[0] = requestTable;

            getDataType.RequestedTables = requestTables;
            res1 = obj.getData(getDataType);
            lblDisplay.Text = "Get Data Operation has completed successfully. . ";
         //   get_Data_ResultType res2 = new get_Data_ResultType();
            TVAMainType tva = res1.TVAMain;
          //  get_Data_ResultType result = stub.getData(getDataType); 

            if (tva != null)
            {
                Array prgInfos = res1.TVAMain.ProgramDescription.ProgramInformationTable.ProgramInformation;
                foreach (object BasicDescription in prgInfos)
                {
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("{0}", BasicDescription);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

SubmitData Method

Make the consructs and an object to hold the resource data:

private void bnSubmitData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          string[] res = new string[1];

Initiate the necessary objects to construct your TVAMain Extended Object:

ExtendedTVAMainType mainType = new ExtendedTVAMainType();
ProgramDescriptionType prgDesc = new ProgramDescriptionType();
ProgramInformationTableType prgInfoTable = new ProgramInformationTableType();

Put in the content service provider's name, program ID (CRID if there is one, if not leave blank and one will be assigned):

prgInfoTable.metadataOriginIDRef = "BBC";
ProgramInformationType prgInfo = new ProgramInformationType();
prgInfo.programId = "crid://bbc.co.uk/1178617823";

Create a Title object and Array:

TitleType title = new TitleType();
            title.Value = "Pop Songs";
            TitleType[] titles = new TitleType[1];
            titles[0] = title;

Make a synopsis object and Array:

SynopsisType synopsisType = new SynopsisType();
            synopsisType.Value = "Music";
            synopsisType.length = SynopsisLengthType.@short;
            SynopsisType[] synopsisTypes = new SynopsisType[1];
            synopsisTypes[0] = synopsisType;

Create a term object and Genre object and fill them in:

TermNameType termNameType1 = new TermNameType();
            termNameType1.Value = "Non-Fiction/Information";

            GenreType genreType = new GenreType();
            genreType.href = "urn:tva:metadata:cs:ContentCS:2005:3.8";
            genreType.Name = termNameType;
            genreType.type = GenreTypeType.main;
 GenreType[] genreTypes = new GenreType[1];
            genreTypes[0] = genreType;

Create a BasicContentDescrption object and fill in the info:

BasicContentDescriptionType basicContent = new BasicContentDescriptionType();
      basicContent.Title = titles;
            basicContent.Synopsis = synopsisTypes;
            basicContent.Genre = genreTypes;

Put in the necessary attributes (optional):

AVAttributesType AVAttributesType = new AVAttributesType();
            AVAttributesType.FileSize = 3;

            AudioAttributesType1 AudioAttributesType = new AudioAttributesType1();
            AudioAttributesType.NumOfChannels = 34;

            AVAttributesType.AudioAttributes = audioAttributesTypes;
            prgInfo.AVAttributes = AVAttributesType;

Put all the data in the correct objects:

prgInfo.BasicDescription = basicContent;
            prgInfoTable.ProgramInformation = prgInfos;
            prgDesc.ProgramInformationTable = prgInfoTable;
            mainType.ProgramDescription = prgDesc;

Submit the data:

res = obj.submitData(mainType);

Here is the method with two entries:

private void bnSubmitData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string[] res = new string[1];

            ExtendedTVAMainType mainType = new ExtendedTVAMainType();
