Asynchronous HTTP SOAP 1.2 Request and Response using POST

Demonstrates a working asynchronous SOAP 1.2 request and response using POST with a live server. You may try running this example with the URLs and data provided. See http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?op=GetCityWeatherByZIP for details.

Note: This example is correct in theory, but no longer works for live testing because the SOAP service provider (cdyne.com) has made changes or discontinued the free service.

// TaskCompleted callback method.
public void handleTaskCompleted(int taskId)
    {
    // Application code goes here.

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Schedule the task for running on the thread pool.  This changes the task's state
    // from Inert to Live.
    success = task.Run();
    if (success != true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(task.LastErrorText);

        return;
    }

    // The application is now free to do anything else
    // while the HTTP request is in progress.  When the task
    // is completed, the TaskCompleted method is called.

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The following is a general note that applies to all programming languages:
    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // NOTE: This is very important:  The TaskCompleted callback runs in the background thread.  
    // (All callbacks from an async task, such as AbortCheck, PercentDone, ProgressInfo, etc. are in the background thread.) 
    // An application that uses TaskCompleted must be very careful.  
    // For example, user interface elements (such as labels, text boxes, etc.) may not be directly
    // accessible from a background thread, and could crash the application if directly accessed.  Also, attempting to debug
    // code running in a background thread from an IDE, especially an older IDE (such as VB6) is likely to crash the IDE.
