XmlRpcLight

C# XmlRpc library based on a trimmed down version of Xml-Rpc by Charles Cook.

XmlRpcLight has no dependencies on System.Web and is suitable for usage in ASP.NET 5 applications.

Install from Nuget.org:

Install-Package XmlRpcLight.

Usage:

Derive a service class from XmlRpcService and mark methods with XmlRpcMethod attributes:

private class SomeXmlRpcLightService : XmlRpcService {
    [XmlRpcMethod("someNamesSpace.someMethod")]
    public string SomeMethod(int id, string name) {
        return id + name; // return something.
    }
}

Now instantiate this class and call Invoke with an Xml string to perform the Xml Rpc call:

string xml =
    @"<?xml version=""1.0""?>
	<methodCall>
	  <methodName>someNamesSpace.someMethod</methodName>
	  <params>
	    <param>
	        <value><i4>40</i4></value>
	    </param>
	    <param>
	        <value><string>bla bla</string></value>
	    </param>
	    <param>
	        <value>
	            <struct>
	              <member>
	                <name>PostId</name>
	                <value><i4>1</i4></value>
	              </member>
	              <member>
	                <name>PostText</name>
	                <value><string>2</string></value>
	              </member>
	            </struct>
	        </value>
	    </param>
	  </params>
	</methodCall>";

    var rpcService = new SomeXmlRpcLightService();
    var resultXml = rpcService.Invoke(xml);

   	// Now result will contain this XML:
	<?xml version=""1.0""?>
	<methodResponse>
	  <params>
	    <param>
	      <value>
	        <string>40bla bla</string>
	      </value>
	    </param>
	  </params>
	</methodResponse>";
