All,



I'm trying to develop my own version of the project that can be found here:



http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/SharePointListWebService.aspx



Below is the code, similar to what he's posted, for pulling list items from our MOSS calendar.







I'm getting an error on that last line:







The error message is as follows:

Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.



Looked at the return packet from the server, and I noticed that the innertext of the error was as follows:

The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)



Also, I retrieved the GUIDs you see in the above code by using the utility available here:

And in my google quests, most answers revolved around making sure the Web Service reference is added to the MOSS subsite, not the root site. I want to say now, that I've been careful to attach to the correct site.



EDIT: Mark's Syntax Highlighter took all or most of the spaces out of my code. Try to ignore that, I'm compiling just fine, no code syntax errors.

Ha! After taking all that time to make sure you all knew I specified the subsite.....I found the problem.



Adding the web reference by navigating to the /_vti_bin/Lists.asmx page DOES NOT mean that this site will be the site that the queries are run on. You still have to set the URL property of the "Lists" variable I created first. Assuming that "mosslists" is the name of the web reference I just created, the following code creates a "list" object, then sets the URL property of that object:







So after all that talk about already setting the URL.....I didn't end up finishing the job. Hope this helps those of you that fall into the same trap.
