I needed to create a small prototype code for an application and send faxes from our interface using MyFax XML WebService. Here is only one of the steps: How to create the XML file to be sent to their WebService. I don't have any connection to a database but the intention is to send "n" amount of faxes created already in a database and send them automatically. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question/problem about this code.
string CreateXMLFile(string base64PDF) { string strXMLFile = ""; try { XmlWriterSettings oSettings = new XmlWriterSettings(); oSettings.Indent = true; oSettings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true; oSettings.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8; _myXMLFile = "MyFaxFile.xml"; using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(MapPath(_myXMLFile), oSettings)) { writer.WriteStartDocument(true); writer.WriteStartElement("single_fax_info", "http://www.protus.com"); writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "xsi", null, "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"); writer.WriteStartElement("SchemaVersion"); writer.WriteValue("1.2"); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("login_key"); writer.WriteStartElement("user_id"); writer.WriteValue("12345"); //TO BE REPLACED WITH REAL VALUE writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("user_password"); writer.WriteValue("abcd123"); //TO BE REPLACED WITH REAL VALUE writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("single_fax_options"); writer.WriteStartElement("billing_code"); writer.WriteValue("cust 123"); //TO BE REPLACED WITH REAL VALUE writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("from_name"); writer.WriteValue(txtFrom.Text.ToString()); //TO BE REPLACED WITH VALUE FROM THE DATABASE writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("tiff_image_flag"); writer.WriteValue("false"); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("resolution"); writer.WriteValue("high"); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("fax_recipient"); writer.WriteStartElement("fax_recipient_number"); writer.WriteValue(txtFaxNumber.Text.ToString()); //TO BE REPLACED WITH VALUE FROM THE DATABASE writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("fax_recipient_name"); writer.WriteValue(txtTo.Text.ToString()); //TO BE REPLACED WITH VALUE FROM THE DATABASE writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("document_list"); //START OF ONE OR MANY PDFs TO BE SENT, YOU WOULD NEED TO CREATE A LOOP HERE writer.WriteStartElement("document"); writer.WriteStartAttribute("document_content_type"); writer.WriteValue("application/pdf"); writer.WriteEndAttribute(); writer.WriteStartAttribute("document_encoding_type"); writer.WriteValue("base64"); writer.WriteEndAttribute(); writer.WriteStartAttribute("document_extension"); writer.WriteValue("pdf"); writer.WriteEndAttribute(); writer.WriteValue(base64PDF); //TO BE REPLACED WITH THE PDF DOC CONVERTED TO BASE64 writer.WriteEndElement(); //END OF ONE OR MANY PDFs TO BE SENT writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndDocument(); writer.Flush(); writer.Close(); XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.Load(MapPath(_myXMLFile)); StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter(); XmlTextWriter xWriter = new XmlTextWriter(sWriter); xmlDoc.WriteTo(xWriter); strXMLFile = sWriter.ToString(); } } catch { throw; } return strXMLFile; }
