The Meetings Web service helps you to create and manage Meeting Workspace sites. This topic describes how you can use the Web services to perform the following tasks:

  • Identify existing Meeting Workspace sites.

  • Create new Meeting Workspace sites and add meetings.

  • Delete Meeting Workspace sites.

  • Update meeting information on a Meeting Workspace site.

To identify existing Meeting Workspace sites

  • The following Microsoft Visual Basic code example lists the Meeting Workspace sites that exist on the server.

    Note

    ServerURLTextBox is an interface element that is on a form in the Visual Basic project.

    Dim ws As New mywss001.Meetings()
Dim myCache As New System.Net.CredentialCache()

Private Sub ListMWS_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListMWS.Click
 ws.Credentials = myCache.DefaultCredentials()
 ws.Url = ServerURLTextBox.Text
 If (ws.Url.EndsWith("/")) Then
  ws.Url = ws.Url.Remove(ws.Url.Length - 1, 1)
 End If
 ws.Url = ws.Url + "/_vti_bin/meetings.asmx"
 Dim GetMeetingWorkspacesResponse As System.Xml.XmlNode
 If (ws.Url <> "") Then
  GetMeetingWorkspacesResponse = ws.GetMeetingWorkspaces(True)
 End If
 Dim OuterXml As String
 OuterXml = GetMeetingWorkspacesResponse.OuterXml()
 MsgBox("OuterXml")
End Sub

To create a new Meeting Workspace site and add a meeting to the site

  • The following Visual Basic code example creates a Meeting Workspace site and adds a meeting to it.

    Note

    ServerURLTextBox, MeetingSubjectTextBox, MeetingLocationTextBox, DTSTARTTextBox, DTENDTextBox, and CreateWorkspaceButton are all interface elements that are on a form in the Visual Basic project.

    Dim ws As New mywss001.Meetings()
Dim tz As New mywss001.TimeZoneInf()
Dim myCache As New System.Net.CredentialCache()
Dim UID As Integer
Dim Sequence As UInt32

Private Sub CreateWorkspaceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateWorkspaceButton.Click
 ws.Credentials = myCache.DefaultCredentials()
 ws.Url = ServerURLTextBox.Text
 If (ws.Url.EndsWith("/")) Then
  ws.Url = ws.Url.Remove(ws.Url.Length - 1, 1)
 End If
 ws.Url = ws.Url + "/_vti_bin/meetings.asmx"
 Dim CreateWorkspaceResponse As System.Xml.XmlNode
 If (ws.Url <> "") Then
  CreateWorkspaceResponse = ws.CreateWorkspace(MeetingSubjectTextBox.Text, "MPS#0", System.UInt32.Parse("1033"), tz)
 End If
 Dim OuterXml As String
 OuterXml = CreateWorkspaceResponse.OuterXml()
 Dim MWSURL As String
 Dim Start As Integer
 Dim Finish As Integer
 Start = OuterXml.IndexOf("""")
 Finish = OuterXml.IndexOf("""", Start + 1)
 MWSURL = OuterXml.Substring(Start + 1, Finish - Start - 1)
 Dim MyRand As New System.Random()
 UID = MyRand.Next(100, 10000)
 Sequence.ToString("0")
 ws.Url = MWSURL + "/_vti_bin/meetings.asmx"
 ws.AddMeeting("", UID.ToString, Sequence,     "2003-03-27T15:00:00-08:00", MeetingSubjectTextBox.Text,     MeetingLocationTextBox.Text, DTSTARTTextBox.Text,     DTENDTextBox.Text, False)
 MWSURLLink.Text = MWSURL
End Sub

To delete a Meeting Workspace site

  • The following Visual Basic code example deletes a specified Meeting Workspace site.

    Note

    MWSURLLink contains the URL of the Meeting Workspace site.

    Private Sub DeleteWorkspaceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DeleteWorkspaceButton.Click
 ws.Credentials = myCache.DefaultCredentials()
 ws.Url = MWSURLLink.Text + "/_vti_bin/meetings.asmx"
 ws.DeleteWorkspace()
End Sub

To update meeting information on a Meeting Workspace site

  • The following Visual Basic code example updates a meeting that exists on a Meeting Workspace site.

    Note

    MWSURLLink, MeetingSubjectTextBox, MeetingLocationTextBox, DTSTARTTextBox, DTENDTextBox, and CreateWorkspaceButton are all interface elements that are on a form in the Visual Basic project.

    Private Sub UpdateMeetingButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UpdateMeetingButton.Click
 ws.Credentials = myCache.DefaultCredentials()
 ws.Url = MWSURLLink.Text + "/_vti_bin/meetings.asmx"
 Sequence.ToString("0")
 ws.UpdateMeeting(UID, Sequence, "2003-03-27T15:00:00-08:00",     MeetingSubjectTextBox.Text, MeetingLocationTextBox.Text,     DTSTARTTextBox.Text, DTENDTextBox.Text, False)
End Sub
