Faxing PDF using Web Service (C#)

[Marshal Stephen]

Hi, so I am trying to use the web service to fax PDF documents. I looked at the sample code provided here. I’m using the schedule.xml file provided. I am getting an error closing the request stream:

Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close(); //Error received “Cannot close stream until all bytes are written”

Here’s what I am doing: I am opening this schedule.xml, in the <attachment> section, I am replacing the sample <content> tag with my content (which is the base 64 encoded string from my PDF document).

Now the sample code runs fine by itself. Once I swap it out with my the base 64 encoded string of my PDF, the error happens.

Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Marshal,

Did you check that the file size (len) changed?

Sounds like write is waiting for more bytes.

Just a thought and good luck,
Victor

Hi Victor, thank you for checking out my post; sorry I was on vacation. It seemed to go through now. It is weird. I noticed the xml file had the root tags <xml….>. It must have happened when I opened and saved with an xml editor. I removed it and it seems to go through. Though, the exception was very much misleading.
Now to post another question on how to find out if the fax did indeed go through so I can update my db records accordingly!
