Hello All,

I am working with a customer where I am connected to their page and they provided me their wsdl. I used Web Reference using their wsdl. I have one function that I call and it sends me back the information with no problem. If I do another call where I provide a parameter to send out, I get an "Internal Error (from client)" back.

Now when I use SOAPUI, I do not get an error and I do get the correct information back.

Here is my code

VB.NET:
Dim myService As New wbsMyService.MyService
   Dim cert As X509Certificate2 = New X509Certificate2(Application.StartupPath & "\MyCert.cer", "MyPassword")

    Public Function wbs_Initialze() As Boolean
        Dim boolReturn As Boolean = False
        Try
            myService.SoapVersion = Web.Services.Protocols.SoapProtocolVersion.Soap11
            myService.PreAuthenticate = True
            myService.ClientCertificates.Add(cert)
            myService.Url = "https://customersendpoint"
            myService.Timeout = 60000
            myService.UserAgent = "Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1"
            myService.AllowAutoRedirect = True
         
            ' myService.Discover()
            boolReturn = True
        Catch ew As SoapException
            MessageBox.Show(ew.Message)
        Catch ex As Exception
            comVariabes.strTestTheory = ex.Message
            boolReturn = False
        End Try
        Return boolReturn

  Public Function wbs_GetMyNamesNames() As String
        'THIS WORKS
        Dim strResult As String

        Try
            strResult = myService.GetMyNamesNames()
            If strResult Is Nothing Then
                strResult = ""
            ElseIf strResult = "" Then
                strResult = ""

            End If
        Catch ex As WebException
            strResult = ex.Message
        Catch ew As SoapHeaderException
            strResult = ew.Message
        End Try
        Return strResult

    End Function

   Public Function wbs_GetMyFunction(strUserName As String) As String
       'THIS DOES NOT WORK
        Dim strResult As String
        Dim str As String = myService.ConnectionGroupName
        Try
            strResult = myService.GetMyFunction(strUserName.Trim)
            If strResult Is Nothing Then
                strResult = "NOTHING"
            End If
            'Catch ex As SoapException
            '    strResult = ex.Message
        Catch ew As SoapHeaderException
            strResult = ew.Message
        End Try
        Return strResult

And here is a sample of their wsdl file. I did have to replace certain words with generic words for certain security reasons
