In this sample, you learn how to perform a simple transmission of a fax with C#, using the inbound Web service’s SendCharFax method.
Within the downloaded project files you will find this C# fax snippet, which handles the fax transmission, using SendCharFax:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace SendCharFax
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string username = "";
string password = "";
string faxnumber = "00442071499926";
string faxcontents = "Test Fax from InterFAX Web Service.";
interfax.InterFax interfaxWebServiceOutbound = new interfax.InterFax();
long resultStatus = interfaxWebServiceOutbound.SendCharFax(username, password, faxnumber, faxcontents, "txt");
// the file submitted will always be a txt
if (resultStatus > 0) // if the result is positive, it's the TransactionID created
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Created Fax with TransactionID {0}.", resultStatus));
}
else // if the result is negative, it's an error code
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Failed with Error Code {0}.", resultStatus));
}
Console.ReadLine(); // use this to keep console open (waiting for keypress) after it is finished
}
}
}
