Re: Getting Session Id from SOAP Header

Hi query4u,

Firstly, you can check proxy class which generate automatically whether it has related class derived from soapheader , if not please new a class derived from soapheader. This will help you get soapheader information. Then you code lie below:

localhost.Service a = new TestWebService.localhost.Service();

localhost.MySoapHeader MySH = new TestWebService.localhost.MySoapHeader();

MySH.Username = "";

a.MySoapHeaderValue = MySH;

a.HelloWorld();

String m_ExactName=a.MySoapHeaderValue.Username

The m_ExactName variable will get the name from soapheader.

Secondly, if the first solution doesn't meet your requirement, you get also use SoapExtension to get the whole soap message , then parse the xml to get exact information.
