I am using the CookComputing XML-RPC Library in an attempt to build a C# console client in order to execute API methods on Moodle (an open-source Learning management system). The server is using ZEND XML-RPC.
When I run the code, I get a TypeLoadException was Unhandled, referring to this line:
System.Object myResults = proxy.moodle_user_get_user_by_id(myUserIds);
"Inheritance security rules violated while overriding member: 'CookComputing.XmlRpc.XmlRpcFaultException.GetObjectData(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext)'. Security accessibility of the overriding method must match the security accessibility of the method being overriden."
My Client code is:
...
using CookComputing.XmlRpc;
[XmlRpcUrl("http://moodle.ourcompany.com/webservice/xmlrpc/server.php?wstoken=somereallylongtokenstring")]
public interface IMoodleUserGetUsersById : IXmlRpcProxy
{
[XmlRpcMethod("moodle_user_get_users_by_id")]
System.Object moodle_user_get_user_by_id(int[] userIds);
}
namespace Moodle_test_api1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Testing XML-RPC Services for Moodle!");
IMoodleUserGetUsersById proxy = XmlRpcProxyGen.Create<IMoodleUserGetUsersById>();
int[] myUserIds = {11, 12};
System.Object myResults = proxy.moodle_user_get_user_by_id(myUserIds);
//Console.WriteLine("Trying Function: {0}:{1}", proxy.ToString());
}
}
}
The API documentation for the method I want to utilize is:
moodle_user_get_users_by_id: Get users by id.
Arguments
---------
userids (Required)
General structure
list of (
int //user ID
)
XML-RPC (PHP structure)
[userids] =>
Array
(
[0] => int
)
Response:
General structure
-----------------
list of (
object {

email string //An email address - allow email as root@localhost
auth string //Auth plugins include manual, ldap, imap, etc

customfields Optional //User custom fields (also known as user profil fields)
list of (
object {

)}
)
Any suggestions would be helpful, including if I am passing in the token in the right spot?
TIA.
