Helper Classes for C#
Sample Applications in the Web Services SDK
The C# sample applications included with the
vSphere Web Services SDK include C# helper classes that handle the details of
creating sessions, obtaining session tokens, saving the session token as a
string to a file, and reusing the session. The Microsoft .NET Web services
implementation uses the
Cookie
class to handle the session
information from the server.
The helper classes (listed in the following
table) handle command-line input such as common parameters, server name, and
other details. These helper classes are located in the unpacked C# version of
the SDK download, in this location:
