Hi everyone,
As the title says, I want to retrieve tables of data from a SQL database, using Flex 4 and .Net WebService.
I'm new to both Flex and DotNet. Please tell me a proper way to do it.
This is what I've done so far:
Retrieving an array of string: (this works)
.Net:
[WebMethod]
public String[] getTestArray()
{
String[] arStr = { "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD" };
return arStr;
}
Flex 4:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable]
private var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
protected function btn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
ws.getTestArray();
}
protected function ws_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
ac = event.result as ArrayCollection;
Alert.show(ac.toString());
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
<s:WebService id="ws" wsdl="http://localhost:50582/Service1.asmx?WSDL" result="ws_resultHandler(event)"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:Button x="10" y="30" label="Button" id="btn" click="btn_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:Application>
Retrieving a DataTable: (this does not work)
DotNet:
[WebMethod]
public DataTable getUsers()
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable("Users");
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("server = 192.168.1.50; database = MyDatabase; user id = sa; password = 1234; integrated security = false");
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select vFName, vLName, vEmail from Users", conn);
da.Fill(dt);
return dt;
}
Flex 4:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable]
private var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
protected function btn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
ws.getUsers();
}
protected function ws_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
ac = event.result as ArrayCollection;
Alert.show(ac.toString());
}

</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
<s:WebService id="ws" wsdl="http://localhost:50582/Service1.asmx?WSDL" result="ws_resultHandler(event)"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:Button x="10" y="30" label="Button" id="btn" click="btn_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:Application>
