Import Web Service Problem

[jyang72211]

I am using LabVIEW 2011, and I am trying to use the import web service function.  I tried to follow the instruction in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4728  When I got to the select method to import section, no methods appeared, unlike the tutorial.  Am I doing something wrong?  Below is the web service that I tried to import.  I didn't enter any authentication or proxy information, since the tutorial didn't say anything about it, and I didn't know what information to enter.

Can you open these links in your browser?

http://ws.cdyne.com/NotifyWS/phonenotify.asmx
and
http://ws.cdyne.com/NotifyWS/phonenotify.asmx?WSDL

I am not able to replicate the issue and I am wondering if you are having trouble due to being on an isolated
network and/or having firewall restrictions. Do either of those things apply to you?

Thanks!

Yes, I could open both of the links with no problem.  When I try to import the web service, I didn't input any authentication and proxy server information.  Could that be a problem?  Howcome no webserve shows up for the web service?  If nothing show up, shouldn't there be at least an error?

When I replicate the issue, I do not add proxy or authentication information and I am able to see the methods.
So that shouldn't be a problem and I don't believe this dialog will issue an error. Do you have any firewalls
in place or are you on an isolated network?

You mentioned using LabVIEW 2011, have you been able to do this on another version of LabVIEW in the past?
Also, what operating system are you using?

Thanks!

After I installed some .NET compoonents from the device driver's DVD, the import web service started to work?  I am glad, but why is that?

From that tutorial (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4728), you can see that .NET Framwork 1.1 Service Pack 1 or later is required to run Web Services in LabVIEW, at least for LabVIEW version 8.2. It sounds like you were simply missing some components that allowed you to see those methods and installing those components put everything in place. Have a good day.

When I had the problem, I had .NET frame work on my machine.  After I installed everything .NET related on the LabVIEW installation DVD, the problem went away.
