Event Service

This service is used to handle EPS events, such as conferences, user groups, and training.

C# Service Access Example using CODE Framework

Using CODE Framework service call infrastructure, this service can be called from the client like so:

ServiceClient.Call<IEventService>(s => {
    List<EventInformation> events = s.GetEvents(new EventsFilter();
});

This requires the following settings to be set in the application configuration file (such as App.config or Web.config):

<add key="ServiceBaseUrl" value="www.epsservices.net"/>
<add key="ServiceProtocol" value="NetTcp"/>
<add key="ServiceBasePath:IEventService" value="Events"/>
<add key="ServicePort:IEventService" value="45020"/>
<add key="ServiceMessageSize:IEventService" value="Large"/>

This also requires adding a reference to the .NET Contract Assembly (see below).

Note: This is an older service that does not follow all the latest service standards. For instance, the GetEvents() operation returns a List rather than a GetEventsResponse object. However, the overall paradigm is reasonably close to all our latest standards.
