XML Serialization and DeSerialization using SOAP request C#

I need your help to solve my issue please give me a solution for this
I am trying a Serialize and Deserialize the Dynamic XML Data but the data was not Deserialized
These are my methods and i am using.

** IndentXMLString**
public static string IndentXMLString(string xml)

// Flush the contents of the text writer
// to the memory stream, which is simply a memory file
xtw.Flush();
// set to start of the memory stream (file)
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
// create a reader to read the contents of
// the memory stream (file)
sr = new StreamReader(ms);
// return the formatted string to caller
}
catch (Exception ex)

}
** Finally this is the DeserializeInnerSoapObject method**
public static T DeserializeInnerSoapObject<T>(string soapResponse)
{
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.LoadXml(soapResponse);
var soapBody = xmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName("s:Body")[0];
string innerObject = IndentXMLString(soapBody.InnerXml); //soapBody.InnerXml;
XmlSerializer deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T), "http://some link");
using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(innerObject))
{
return (T)deserializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}

Try following :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = #"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string soap = File.ReadAllText(FILENAME);
StringReader sReader = new StringReader(soap);
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(sReader);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Envelope));
Envelope envelope = (Envelope)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "Envelope", Namespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")]
public class Envelope
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "Body", Namespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")]
public Body body { get; set; }
}
public class Body
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "CreateSessionResponse", Namespace = "http://some link")]
public CreateSessionResponse CreateSessionResponse { get; set; }
}
public class CreateSessionResponse
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "CreateSessionResult", Namespace = "http://some link")]
public CreateSessionResult CreateSessionResult { get; set; }
}
public class CreateSessionResult
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "output", Namespace = "http://some link")]
public Output Output { get; set; }
}
public class Output
{
[XmlElement]
public string sessionId { get; set; }
}
}

Actually this is not the answer
I have shared my output here please check with this and give me the solution for this issue
I got the Soap response like this
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<CreateSessionResponse xmlns="http://some link">
<CreateSessionResult>
<output>
<sessionId>some id</sessionId>
</output>
</CreateSessionResult>
</CreateSessionResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Why when i insert encoding="UTF-16BE" in xml the hash is different?

The following method generate a XmlDocument from a string and then call another method to generate a hash of the XmlDocument created.
private void geraXML()
{
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
string xml = #"<?xml version=""1.0""?>...";
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml);
string caminho = path/+"xmldoc.xml";
string nomeArquivo = "xmldoc.xml";
xmlDoc.Save(caminho);
//call method to generate hash
geraHASH(caminho, nomeArquivo);
}
This another method convert the same string of first method to stream and send to a webService
private void enviaACCS001(string protocolo, string caminho)
{
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes("user:password"));
string authorization = String.Concat("Basic ", base64);
String finalResult;
HttpWebRequest hwrRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("addres/" + protocolo);
hwrRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
hwrRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", authorization);
hwrRequest.Method = "PUT";
string finalXML = #"<?xml version=""1.0""?>...";
byte[] bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(finalXML);
hwrRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
using (Stream putStream = hwrRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
putStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)hwrRequest.GetResponse())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
finalResult = reader.ReadToEnd();
visualiza.Text = visualiza.Text + "\n " + finalResult;
}
The WebService generate the hash of stream and compare with the first hash generated. So far so good, the compare return true, but the WebService need the encoding="UTF-16BE" and when insert this information into the string the hash not match. What i'm doing wrong?
First method with encoding="UTF-16BE"
private void geraXML()
{
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
string xml = #"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-16BE""?>...";
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml);
string caminho = path/+"xmldoc.xml";
string nomeArquivo = "xmldoc.xml";
xmlDoc.Save(caminho);
//call method to generate hash
geraHASH(caminho, nomeArquivo);
}
Second method with encoding="utf-16bE"
private void enviaACCS001(string protocolo, string caminho)
{
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes("user:password"));
string authorization = String.Concat("Basic ", base64);
String finalResult;
HttpWebRequest hwrRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("addres/" + protocolo);
hwrRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
hwrRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", authorization);
hwrRequest.Method = "PUT";
string finalXML = #"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-16BE""?>...";
byte[] bytes = Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes(finalXML);
hwrRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
using (Stream putStream = hwrRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
putStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)hwrRequest.GetResponse())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
finalResult = reader.ReadToEnd();
visualiza.Text = visualiza.Text + "\n " + finalResult;
}

Bulk API integrate using C#

I'm trying to create a Bulk API to send Data to Salesforce .Here is my Code`
string userName = "XXXX";
//Console.Write("Enter password: ");
string password = "XXX";
string SessionId = SalesforceLogin(userName, password);
string JobId = CreateJob(SessionId, "insert", "Contact");
byte[] inputFileData = null;
string jobId = string.Empty;
string resultId = string.Empty;
string batchId = string.Empty;
if (JobId.Length > 0)
{
System.IO.FileInfo oFile = null;
//oFile = New System.IO.FileInfo("data.csv")
oFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(#"D:\request.txt");
System.IO.FileStream oFileStream = oFile.OpenRead();
long lBytes = oFileStream.Length;
int a = (int)lBytes; //modified after conversion
if ((lBytes > 0))
{
byte[] fileData = new byte[lBytes];
// Read the file into a byte array
oFileStream.Read(fileData, 0, a); //modified after conversion
oFileStream.Close();
//Get the file where the Query is present
inputFileData = fileData;
}
batchId= AddBatch(SessionId, JobId, inputFileData);
After that, I create A Job
private static string CreateJob(string sessionId, string sfOperation, string sfObjectName)
{
string str = "";
string reqURL = "";
byte[] bytes;
XmlDocument reqDoc;
XmlDocument respDoc;
str = ""
+ "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n" // added \r\n as recommended by L.B's answer
+ "<jobInfo xmlns=\"http://www.force.com/2009/06/asyncapi/dataload\">"
+ " <operation></operation>" // removed "+sfOperation+"
+ " <object></object>" // removed "+sfObjectName+"
+ " <contentType>XML</contentType>" // should be CSV, NOT XML
+ "</jobInfo>"
;
reqURL = "https://ap2.salesforce.com/services/async/23.0/job";
reqDoc = new XmlDocument();
reqDoc.LoadXml(str);
// added XML modifications
reqDoc.GetElementsByTagName("operation")[0].InnerText = sfOperation;
reqDoc.GetElementsByTagName("object")[0].InnerText = sfObjectName;
bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(reqDoc.InnerXml);
respDoc = Post(bytes, reqURL, sessionId); // create job
string JobId = (respDoc != null) ?
(respDoc.GetElementsByTagName("id").Count > 0) ?
(respDoc.GetElementsByTagName("id")[0].InnerText) :
"" :
""
;
return JobId;
}`
Then I create A Batch to
private static string AddBatch(string sessionId, string jobId, byte[] fileBytes)
{
string reqURL = "https://ap2.salesforce.com/services/async/23.0/job/" + jobId + "/batch";
XmlDocument respDoc = Post(fileBytes, reqURL, sessionId);
string batchId = (respDoc != null) ?
(respDoc.GetElementsByTagName("id").Count > 0) ?
(respDoc.GetElementsByTagName("id")[0].InnerText) :
"" :
""
;
return batchId;
}
Then the Post Method
private static XmlDocument Post(byte[] bytes, string reqURL, object sfSessionId)
{
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(reqURL);
req.Method = "POST";
if ((bytes != null))
{
req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
}
req.ContentType = "application/xml; charset=UTF-8"; // should be text/csv; when passing a CSV file
req.Headers.Add("X-SFDC-Session: " + sfSessionId);
System.IO.Stream strm = req.GetRequestStream();
if ((bytes != null))
strm.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
strm.Close();
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
System.IO.Stream respStrm = resp.GetResponseStream();
XmlDocument respDoc = new XmlDocument();
respDoc.Load(respStrm);
return respDoc;
}
Everything Going Good But when I'm trying to save the Data on Lead it displays the Error
InvalidBatch : Failed to parse XML. Failed to get next element
After Creating Batch I get Result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><batchInfo xmlns="http://www.force.com/2009/06/asyncapi/dataload"><id>7512800000C8OHAAA3</id><jobId>75028000008qk53AAA</jobId><state>Queued</state><createdDate>2017-05-30T14:11:45.000Z</createdDate><systemModstamp>2017-05-30T14:11:45.000Z</systemModstamp><numberRecordsProcessed>0</numberRecordsProcessed><numberRecordsFailed>0</numberRecordsFailed><totalProcessingTime>0</totalProcessingTime><apiActiveProcessingTime>0</apiActiveProcessingTime><apexProcessingTime>0</apexProcessingTime></batchInfo>
One More thing After inserting the Batch, How this job will execute .I'm pasting all the code because it may help Someone if i get the Answer :).

Toggl API v8 with .NET

I'm trying to use the new Toggl API (v8) with .NET C#. I've based my code on the example from litemedia (http://litemedia.info/connect-to-toggl-api-with-net), but it was originally created for version 1 of the API.
private const string TogglTasksUrl = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v8/tasks.json";
private const string TogglAuthUrl = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v8/me"; //sessions.json";
private const string AuthenticationType = "Basic";
private const string ApiToken = "user token goes here";
private const string Password = "api_token";
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
CookieContainer container = new CookieContainer();
var authRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(TogglAuthUrl);
authRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
authRequest.Method = "POST";
authRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
authRequest.CookieContainer = container;
string value = ApiToken; //= Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(ApiToken));
value = string.Format("{1}:{0}", Password, value);
//value = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value));
authRequest.ContentLength = value.Length;
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(authRequest.GetRequestStream(), Encoding.ASCII))
{
writer.Write(value);
}
try
{
var authResponse = (HttpWebResponse)authRequest.GetResponse();
using (var reader = new StreamReader(authResponse.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8))
{
string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
HttpWebRequest tasksRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(TogglTasksUrl);
tasksRequest.CookieContainer = container;
//var jsonResult = string.Empty;
var tasksResponse = (HttpWebResponse)tasksRequest.GetResponse();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
tasksResponse.GetResponseStream().CopyTo(ms);

The following line is returning a 404 error.
var authResponse = (HttpWebResponse)authRequest.GetResponse();

Here is code that works. Since I was looking for this answer recently there might still be others as lost as me.
Notes: I used Encoding.Default.GetBytes() because Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes() did not give me a correct result on my .NET string. I hope it doesn't depend on the default setup of Visual Studio.
The content-type is "application/json".
Sorry, I haven't tried a POST version yet.
string ApiToken = "user token goes here";
string url = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v8/me";
string userpass = ApiToken + ":api_token";
string userpassB64 = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(userpass.Trim()));
string authHeader = "Basic " + userpassB64;
HttpWebRequest authRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
authRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader);
authRequest.Method = "GET";
authRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
//authRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
try
{
var response = (HttpWebResponse)authRequest.GetResponse();
string result = null;
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())

}
if (null != result)

catch (Exception e)
