Calling Netsuite SOAP .wsdl from C# .Net Core - .net-core

Question

First of all, I found this link which was a HUGE help to get this working.
https://medium.com/#benwmills/using-the-netsuite-suitetalk-api-with-net-core-net-standard-40f1a4464da1
But wanted to post my findings - in case it helps anyone else.
Step 1: Add a Service Reference to your project (WCF Web Service)
Step 2: Create NetSuitePortTypeClient and Open it (use your own account specific)
NetSuitePortTypeClient nsptc = new NetSuitePortTypeClient(NetSuitePortTypeClient.EndpointConfiguration.NetSuitePort, "https://########.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/NetSuitePort_2021_2");
await nsptc.OpenAsync();
Step 3: Create a Transaction Search in this example
TransactionSearch tranSearch = new TransactionSearch();
TransactionSearchBasic tranSearchBasic = new TransactionSearchBasic();
SearchStringField searchstringfield = new SearchStringField();
searchstringfield.#operator = SearchStringFieldOperator.#is;
searchstringfield.operatorSpecified = true;
searchstringfield.searchValue = "$$$$$$";
tranSearchBasic.tranId = searchstringfield;
tranSearch.basic = tranSearchBasic;
Step 4: Call the Search
searchResponse sresponse = await nsptc.searchAsync(CreateTokenPassport(), null, null, null, tranSearch);
AND Here is the CreateTokenPassword function
public TokenPassport CreateTokenPassport()
{
string account = "account";
string consumerKey = "ckey";
string consumerSecret = "csecret";
string tokenId = "token";
string tokenSecret = "tokensecret";
string nonce = ComputeNonce();
long timestamp = ComputeTimestamp();
TokenPassportSignature signature = ComputeSignature(account, consumerKey, consumerSecret, tokenId, tokenSecret, nonce, timestamp);
TokenPassport tokenPassport = new TokenPassport();
tokenPassport.account = account;
tokenPassport.consumerKey = consumerKey;
tokenPassport.token = tokenId;
tokenPassport.nonce = nonce;
tokenPassport.timestamp = timestamp;
tokenPassport.signature = signature;
return tokenPassport;
}

Answer 1

You've left out the ComputeNonce, ComputeTimestamp, ComputeSignature functions so this code doesn't work...

Answer 2

Here is full code from example of calling NetSuite SOAP using C#:
public TokenPassport CreateTokenPassport()
{
string account = DataCollection["login.acct"];
string consumerKey = DataCollection["login.tbaConsumerKey"];
string consumerSecret = DataCollection["login.tbaConsumerSecret"];
string tokenId = DataCollection["login.tbaTokenId"];
string tokenSecret = DataCollection["login.tbaTokenSecret"];
string nonce = ComputeNonce();
long timestamp = ComputeTimestamp();
TokenPassportSignature signature = ComputeSignature(account, consumerKey, consumerSecret, tokenId, tokenSecret, nonce, timestamp);
TokenPassport tokenPassport = new TokenPassport();
tokenPassport.account = account;
tokenPassport.consumerKey = consumerKey;
tokenPassport.token = tokenId;
tokenPassport.nonce = nonce;
tokenPassport.timestamp = timestamp;
tokenPassport.signature = signature;
return tokenPassport;
}
private string ComputeNonce()
{
RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] data = new byte[20];
rng.GetBytes(data);
int value = Math.Abs(BitConverter.ToInt32(data, 0));
return value.ToString();
}
private long ComputeTimestamp()
{
return ((long) (DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(new DateTime(1970, 1, 1))).TotalSeconds);
}
private TokenPassportSignature ComputeSignature(string compId, string consumerKey, string consumerSecret,
string tokenId, string tokenSecret, string nonce, long timestamp)
{
string baseString = compId + "&" + consumerKey + "&" + tokenId + "&" + nonce + "&" + timestamp;
string key = consumerSecret + "&" + tokenSecret;
string signature = "";
var encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] keyBytes = encoding.GetBytes(key);
byte[] baseStringBytes = encoding.GetBytes(baseString);
using (var hmacSha1 = new HMACSHA1(keyBytes))
{
byte[] hashBaseString = hmacSha1.ComputeHash(baseStringBytes);
signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hashBaseString);
}
TokenPassportSignature sign = new TokenPassportSignature();
sign.algorithm = "HMAC-SHA1";
sign.Value = signature;
return sign;
}
