Hello,

I am having an issue trying to get the weather predictions from National Weather Services.

I am using VS2010. New console application and added http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl and renamed it to gov.weather

This is my code

Dim weather As ndfdXMLPortTypeClient = New ndfdXMLPortTypeClient()
Dim soapWeatherParameters As weatherParametersType = New weatherParametersType()

weather.NDFDgen(42.73, -73.99, "time-series", Now, Now.AddDays(5), soapWeatherParameters)

I have an error stating "Conversion from string "time-series" to type 'Integer' is not valid."

The product type is its own class, not a string.

Change your code to look like this and I believe it should work. I checked the code in VS2008, but I would imagine it's similar in VS2010.

VB

Dim weather As ndfdXMLPortTypeClient = New ndfdXMLPortTypeClient()
Dim soapWeatherParameters As weatherParametersType = New weatherParametersType()

weather.NDFDgen(42.73, -73.99, productType.timeseries, Now, Now.AddDays(5), soapWeatherParameters)
