Introduction

One of our client projects comprises of accessing data across different Web Services. They wanted to integrate all of them to perform their business process. Instead of calling all the Web Services individually, they want to carry out their business logic using some mechanism which will integrate them to a central location.

To provide them with a mechanism to integrate different services, BizTalk comes into picture which will provide a solution to centralize the business processes for communication and accessing data across them.

Background

In the actual scenario, I will be consuming a third party Web Service, but here for the demo, I am creating my one Web Service.

Using the code

Here we are consuming two Web Services, GetAdvt and GetWidget, in our orchestration and saving their output to a SQL Server table, and then rendering it to an ASPX page by calling Published Orchestration.

Here is the code to call the published orchestration on ASPX:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Xsl;
using System.Xml.XPath;
using System.Web.Caching;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

//using SKCV_GetPage; //Add Web service
public partial class LandingPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    private string ContentMetaData4 = "";
    private static XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
    private string lReqOn = "", lOrchCompleted = "", 
            lDataInsert = "", lOrchInvok="";

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }

    protected void cmdGetPage_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            lReqOn = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
            CallBizTalkWS();//Call BizTalk Published Orchestration WS
            lOrchCompleted = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);//delay for 2 Sec.
            //Geting Data From PublishContents Table
            DoTransformation(Convert.ToInt16(txtpageId.Text), 3, 2);
            Xml1.DocumentContent = ContentMetaData4.Replace("xmlns", "xmlns:xsl");
            //Geting Data From PublishContents Table
            DoTransformation(Convert.ToInt16(txtpageId.Text), 99, 2);
            Xml2.DocumentContent = ContentMetaData4.Replace("xmlns", "xmlns:xsl");

            //Diaplying Times
            labUserId.Text = txtuserId.Text;
            labReqOn.Text = lReqOn;
            labOrchInvok.Text = lOrchInvok;
            labOrchCompleted.Text = lOrchCompleted;
            labDataInsert.Text = lDataInsert;
            labRender.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception lException)
        {
            Response.Write(lException.Message.ToString());
        }
    }

Points of Interest

I am calling a Web Service asynchronously using "CallBizTalkWS()". Here you will find an example of SOAP and SQL Adapter too.
