C#: Send A Letter With SendLetter()

Instructions

Create a new Console Application project and add a web reference

Copy the entire code below, delete anything written in your application and paste the code there
Replace C:\MyFile.pdf with a path to your test PDF file. Remember, for method SendLetter you must use a document where the recipient's address already appears so it will show through the envelope window. You can use one of our Sample Letter Documents.
Replace MyUsername and MyPassword with your PostalMethods user details
Start your application. It will start and send a letter to the PostalMethods SendLetter Web Service method. If the response is a positive number, you will be able to see your letter in the PostalMethods Control Panel.

If the response is negative number, check the Web Service Status Codes section.

That's it - you have successfully sent a letter to PostalMethods. Congratulations.
