DIME Attachment from Client to Server

[Senthil]

hi,
I need to write an application which needs to transfer
a binary file from client to server. I will be able to
send it as DIME attachment along with the SOAP message.

This example which uses WS Attachments from Webservice to
Client
http://www.xmlforasp.net/codeSection.aspx?csID=96

Does anyone have idea about sending a DIME attachment
from client to a webservice.


Thanks

It's similar to sending it from the web service to the client. Make sure
you modify the proxy class so that it derives from
Microsoft.Web.Services.WebServicesClientProtocol.

Client:
// Create instance of web service
wsUpload = new WSUpload.WSUpload();

// Create attachment from posted file stream
DimeAttachment da = new DimeAttachment("plain/text; charset=
utf-8",
TypeFormatEnum.MediaType,
hifUpload.PostedFile.InputStream);

// Add it and send it to the server
wsUpload.RequestSoapContext.Attachments.Add(da);

wsUpload.TransferFile();


Server:
// Get the stream and do something with it
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(
HttpSoapContext.RequestContext.Attachments[0].Stream);

When I tested the DIME sample app it was more than twice as slow as just
sending a regular Soap based64 encode byte array. DIME is not ready for
prime time yet.
