OPS usage via VB.NET
Posted: Wed Dec 04, 2013 8:21 am
Hi,
I am using VB.NET programming language to access OPS. Has somebody here experience and can answer the following questions?
1. How to download PDF documents via OPS
When using the following code:
Of course of existence of the image data has been checked before - without errors. But the code execution above results most often in a 500 server error:
"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."
The strange thing: sometimes it's working, but most often not. And: it is always working when I use the same URL manually in a web browser. I assume that I need to provide some properties to the WebRequest class of VB.NET?
2. How to pass on login credentials
How to pass on the OPS login credentials received from the EPO to the VB.NET objects above? Any idea?
Thanks a lot.

bytes = sr.ReadBytes(wResp.ContentLength)
wResp.Close()
Return bytes
Catch ex As System.Net.WebException
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."
