where shall I use this method? Shall I create a new web form or do it in service.asmx.cs file which is being created by default.

[WebMethod]
02 public XmlDocument getDataXML(string strQuery, string strRootNode, string strItemNode)
03 {
04 // Create vars out of connection string and query string
05 string dbConn = dbConnString;
06 string dbQuery = strQuery;
07
08 // Connect to the database and run the query
09 SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(dbConn);
10 SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(dbQuery, conn);
11 SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
12 DataSet ds = new DataSet();
13 ds.DataSetName = strRootNode;
14 da.SelectCommand = cmd;
15 da.Fill(ds, strItemNode);
16
17 // Return the data as XML
18 XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
19 xmlDoc.LoadXml(ds.GetXml());
20 return xmlDoc;
21 }

hiii,
I have already developed flex application. till now i dint need any database connectivity. but now i need it. For connection in Flex,while starting to make the project you need to specify what technology will u use for database connectivity. But i dint specify anything at that time. So how can i do it now?
How can i specify now that my project will use .net for connectivity.

thanx.

Hi Michael

Just trying to work through your example – using Visual Studio 2008

I am getting the following error:
Error 1 The type or namespace name ‘XmlDocument’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Yea I was able to get it working, but I wrote it =).

So testing the WSDL returns data?

What’s the problem you are having in Flex does it return an error or just no data?

same problem as Carl. wsdl seems to be working fine, but flex does not return any result after making a web service call. Could anyone get this working ?

I’m sure you have already figured this out by now but if not all you need to do is resend the request to the web service like so:

myData.getDataXML.send();

You don’t need to refresh the datagrid this is automatically done.

Think of Flex as a constantly refreshing application, in other words you don’t need to write a function for each change that is made. If that makes any sense.

How do I get the datagrid to refresh/reload the xml on itemClick?

Thanks!
