Hello everyone,

My new project is on creating an sms application in c#. i Just need to know how much i need to get started and go ahead to create it. Collaborations with anyone else are highly welcome.

If you need tutorials then Google has the answers :-)

Actually, there is a web service http://www.webservic...world.asmx?WSDL which looks quite promising, although they don't include the UK yet

Using a web service is very easy from .NET so this might be the best direction for you to go in...

1. Start the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt.
2. Type this command: wsdl /out:c:\SmsServiceProxy.cs http://www.webservic...world.asmx?WSDL

This will create a C Sharp class file on the c: drive allowing you to use this web service and hopefully send SMS. If you would rather generate a VB class, then add the switch /language:VB.

Note: I cannot vouch for the security and/or reliability of this service!

I think u cn do this by using some API calls.
U can get some code from codeproject website, I have gonethrogh some code there they have got some implementation of API calls provided free by the sms site just like google API calls.
There is totally a use of javascript there, u can use that site.

I think the best option is to use an SMS Gateway. It saves a lot time and pain. The following article gives information about how you can send SMS messages from C#:

sir, how do i use this webservice? i have done whatever you have mentioned, after that what to do ?

    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
     
      try
      {
        SmsTest.net.webservicex.www.SendSMS smsIndia= 
          new SmsTest.net.webservicex.www.SendSMS();
        SmsTest.com.webservicex.www.SendSMSWorld smsWorld =  
          new SmsTest.com.webservicex.www.SendSMSWorld();
        if(rdoType.SelectedValue == "1")
          smsIndia.SendSMSToIndia(txtMobileNo.Text.Trim(), 
            txtEmailId.Text.Trim(), txtMessage.Text);
        else 
          smsWorld.sendSMS(txtEmailId.Text.Trim(), 
           txtCountryCode.Text.Trim(), txtMobileNo.Text.Trim(), 
           txtMessage.Text);
        lblMessage.Visible = true;
        lblMessage.Text="Message Send Succesfully";
      }
      catch(Exception ex)
      {
        lblMessage.Visible = true;
        lblMessage.Text="Error in Sending message"+ex.ToString();
      }
    }

    private void rdoType_SelectedIndexChanged(
     object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
      if(rdoType.SelectedValue =="1")
        txtCountryCode.Enabled = false;
      else
        txtCountryCode.Enabled = false;

    }

It gives the error: The namespace SmsTest not found?

MOD EDIT: When posting code...USE CODE TAGS!!!
