C#: Get The Generated Letter with GetPDF()

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 the values of the Const lines with your details:
- Replace MyUsername and MyPassword with your PostalMethods user details.
- Replace "ID" with the LetterID for which you would like to get the PDF.
Start your application. If the response is -3000, you will see the status report. If the response is any other number, check the Web Service Status Codes section.

                // -3000 means that the PDF was successfully retrieved. Enter the full path to save it in e.g. "c:\mypdf.pdf".

            {
                //
                // A value less than -3000 means an error occurred.
                // See the PostalMethods Status Codes: http://www.postalmethods.com/statuscodes.
                //
                Console.WriteLine("Error is:" + objResult.ResultCode);
            }
 
            // In debug mode, the following lines prevent your console application from closing automatically upon termination
