WP7 accessing a Windows Service DataService

This application took 2 minutes to write…

Now that I have demonstrated how Silverlight can access a DataService that is hosted by a WindowsService the final example is to show that it will work on a WP7.

I created a new Windows Phone application and added a Button and Textbox.

I added a Service Reference to the DataService to the Solution.

Finally I pretty much copied the code from the Silverlight application in the previous post.

using WPService.DataService;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace WPService
{
    public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
    {
        DataServiceClient dataService = null;

        // Constructor
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            dataService = new DataServiceClient();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                dataService.GetDateTimeCompleted += new EventHandler<GetDateTimeCompletedEventArgs>(dataService_GetDateTimeCompleted);
                dataService.GetDateTimeAsync();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                textBlock1.Text = string.Format("Error occurred: {0}", ex.Message);
            }
        }

        void dataService_GetDateTimeCompleted(object sender, DataService.GetDateTimeCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                XElement xResult = (XElement)e.Result;

                string date = xResult.Element("Date").Value;
                string time = xResult.Element("Time").Value;

                textBlock1.Text = string.Format("The date is: {0}\nThe time is: {1}", date, time);

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                textBlock1.Text = string.Format("Error occurred: {0}", ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}

 

I clicked the Button!

Says it all!
