Creating a Test Console Application using Microsoft Visual Studio

The Ivanti Service Manager integration web service uses standard web service technologies and can be consumed using various programming languages or platforms such as Microsoft .NET, Java, etc.

This section describes how to create a test console application using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, specifically for creating the web reference to access the SOAP-based Ivanti Service Manager Integration API.

You can also create other .NET based clients, such as WPF, ASP.NET, and Microsoft Windows forms, by using the same concepts.

To create a new test console application in Visual Studio, follow these steps:

1.Launch Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and create a new Visual C# console application.
