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
