Web Service Guidelines

Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010

The Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web services provided by the Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer namespace include methods for accessing content on a Web site—such as for working with lists or site data—as well as methods for customizing meetings, imaging, document workspaces, or search.

Important

Whenever possible, it is recommended that you use the new client-side object model to work remotely with SharePoint Foundation data, instead of using the legacy ASP.NET Web services described here.

SOAP interfaces that are used in these services provide Microsoft .NET Framework developers with object models for creating solutions that work with SharePoint Foundation remotely from a client or custom application. The interfaces are defined through the server-side object model of the Microsoft.SharePoint assembly, and their design is optimized to reduce the number of round trips transacted between client computer and server.

Most Web services provide their functionality through the /_vti_bin virtual directory, which maps to the %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\ISAPI physical directory in the file system. The Administration Web service uses the /_vti_adm virtual directory, which maps to %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\ADMISAPI.

Note

SharePoint Foundation does not require the implementation of a particular version of SOAP. The SOAP response in any transaction with SharePoint Foundation is managed by the .NET Framework.

Guidelines for Using the ASP.NET Web Services

You can create a project in Microsoft Visual Studio, such as a Windows Forms application or console application, which uses a SharePoint Foundation Web service to interact with SharePoint site and list data. After you create a project, you must set a reference to the Web service you want to implement in your code, specifying the full path to the Web service in relation to the site containing the data.

To add a reference to a SharePoint Foundation Web service in Visual Studio

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click References, and then click Add Service Reference.

  2. In the Add Service Reference dialog box, click Advanced, and in the Service Reference Settings dialog box, click Add Web Reference.

  3. In the Add Web Reference dialog box, for URL type the absolute URL for the Web service, specifying a path that includes the Web site for which the Web service will be available. For example, if you want to add a reference to the Lists Web service, specify a path in the following format:

    http://MyServer/[sites/][MySite/][MySubsite/]_vti_bin/Lists.asmx
    

    If you are using methods in the Administration Web service, instead, specify a path that goes to the administration port and that uses _vti_adm as the virtual directory, as follows.

    http://MyServer:Port_Number/_vti_adm/Admin.asmx
    

    For a list of the default ASP.NET Web services that are provided by SharePoint Foundation, see SharePoint Foundation 2010 Web Services.

  4. Type a Web reference name, and then click Add Reference.

Instantiating a Service

Instantiate a Web service within code by using a constructor as follows: Web_Reference.Service_NameServiceInstance = new Web_Reference.Service_Name(). Web_Reference represents the name used for the reference to the Web service in Visual Studio, and Service_Name represents the name of the class that provides methods which can be called through the Web service.

Establishing User Credentials

To establish system credentials for the current security context in which the application is running, add the following line after the previous line, which authenticates the user or group under which the code is running by passing their default credentials to the Web service from the system credential cache.

ServiceInstance.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
ServiceInstance.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

Programming Tasks

The following basic programming tasks demonstrate how to use one of the default Web services that are provided in SharePoint Foundation:

How to: Add Users to a Group

How to: Return Lists

How to: Return List Items

How to: Update List Items

How to: Customize Meeting Workspaces Using the Meetings Web Service

How to: Remove a Meeting from a Meeting Workspace
