Sabre Web Services .NET API Examples that aren't MVC?

This is pretty general, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to consume some of the more complicated Sabre APIs.
I have built working .NET proxy classes in C# using the WSDL for the basic APIs (CreateSession, CloseSession) but for the more complicated APIs I have a really hard time parsing out the complicated XML schema to figure out which methods to call in my program.
Are there any other .NET resources/examples out there that aren't wrapped up in MVC like the code example that Sabre posted on GitHub?
I'm trying to figure out how to use APIs like OTA_AirPriceLLSRQ and TravelItineraryReadRQ.
Thanks in advance for any help!

As I mentioned on the comments, you should not focus on the actual MVC wrapping, as you'll be mainly putting stuff in the Model, or actually you'll put this somewhere else and consume it in the model.
Anyway, just for you to have as example, here's a VERY generic BFM (BargianFinderMax) class. With this approach it's required to create an instance, and after calling the Execute method it stores the response in the instance.
I hope it helps.
using BargainFinderMaxRQv310Srvc;
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace ServicesMethods
{
public class BFM_v310
{
private BargainFinderMaxService service;
private OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ request;
public OTA_AirLowFareSearchRS response;
public BFM_v310(string token, string pcc, string convId, string endpoint)
{
//MessageHeader
MessageHeader mHeader = new MessageHeader();
PartyId[] pId = { new PartyId() };
pId[0].Value = "SWS";
From from = new From();
from.PartyId = pId;
To to = new To();
to.PartyId = pId;
mHeader.Action = "BargainFinderMaxRQ";
mHeader.Service = new Service()
{
Value = mHeader.Action
};
mHeader.ConversationId = convId;
mHeader.CPAId = pcc;
mHeader.From = from;
mHeader.To = to;
mHeader.MessageData = new MessageData()
{
Timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString()
};
//Security
Security security = new Security();
security.BinarySecurityToken = token;
//Service
service = new BargainFinderMaxService();
service.MessageHeaderValue = mHeader;
service.SecurityValue = security;
service.SoapVersion = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapProtocolVersion.Soap11;
service.Url = endpoint;
createRequest(pcc);
}
private void createRequest(string pcc)
{
request = new BargainFinderMaxRQv310Srvc.OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ();
request.AvailableFlightsOnly = true;
request.Version = "3.1.0";
request.POS = new SourceType[1];
SourceType source = new SourceType();
source.PseudoCityCode = pcc;
source.RequestorID = new UniqueID_Type();
source.RequestorID.ID = "1";
source.RequestorID.Type = "1";
source.RequestorID.CompanyName = new CompanyNameType();
source.RequestorID.CompanyName.Code = "TN";
source.RequestorID.CompanyName.CodeContext = "Context";
request.POS[0] = source;
OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQOriginDestinationInformation originDestination = new OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQOriginDestinationInformation();
originDestination.OriginLocation = new OriginDestinationInformationTypeOriginLocation();
originDestination.OriginLocation.LocationCode = "BCN";
originDestination.DestinationLocation = new OriginDestinationInformationTypeDestinationLocation();
originDestination.DestinationLocation.LocationCode = "MAD";
originDestination.ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType.DepartureDateTime;
originDestination.Item = "2017-09-10T12:00:00";
originDestination.RPH = "1";
request.OriginDestinationInformation = new OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQOriginDestinationInformation[1] { originDestination };
request.TravelerInfoSummary = new TravelerInfoSummaryType()
{
AirTravelerAvail = new TravelerInformationType[1]
};
request.TravelerInfoSummary.AirTravelerAvail[0] = new TravelerInformationType()
{
PassengerTypeQuantity = new PassengerTypeQuantityType[1]
};
PassengerTypeQuantityType passenger = new PassengerTypeQuantityType()
{
Quantity = "1",
Code = "ADT"
};
request.TravelerInfoSummary.AirTravelerAvail[0].PassengerTypeQuantity[0] = passenger;
request.TravelerInfoSummary.PriceRequestInformation = new PriceRequestInformationType();
request.TravelerInfoSummary.PriceRequestInformation.CurrencyCode = "USD";
//PriceRequestInformationTypeNegotiatedFareCode nego = new PriceRequestInformationTypeNegotiatedFareCode();
//nego.Code = "ABC";
//request.TravelerInfoSummary.PriceRequestInformation.Items = new object[1] { nego };
request.TPA_Extensions = new OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQTPA_Extensions();
request.TPA_Extensions.IntelliSellTransaction = new TransactionType();
request.TPA_Extensions.IntelliSellTransaction.RequestType = new TransactionTypeRequestType();
request.TPA_Extensions.IntelliSellTransaction.RequestType.Name = "50ITIN";
}
public bool Execute()
{
response = service.BargainFinderMaxRQ(request);
return response.PricedItinCount > 0;
}
}
}

My advice is you should add separate models which are built based on Sabre models, and which flatten the whole structure.
For example, TravelItineraryReadRS is a quite complicated document. Using it properties in your program is a real "pain", because every time you need to remember the whole path that leads to to specific information (like, "what is passenger type for PersonName of NameNumber 01.01?").
I suggest you have dedicated model (let's name it Reservation), which have all information that you will need later in your application, extracted from TravelItineraryReadRs.
In order to achieve this you need a dedicated converter which will make convert TravelItineraryReadRs model into Reservation model. Now, inside Reservation model you could have list of Passenger models, which have in on place all important information (NameNumber, PassengerType, SSR codes, etc).
This improves readability and as a bonus you decouple your application from Sabre (imagine, one day someone asks "can we switch from Sabre to Amadeus?" - if you use dedicated models the answer is "yes". If you don't have, then the answer is "probably yes, but it will take 6-9 months).

Sharing a business notebook with Evernote API

I'm getting a Evernote.EDAM.Error.EDAMErrorCode.PERMISSION_DENIED error on createSharedNotebook when trying to share a business notebook.
AuthenticationResult busAuthResult = _userStore.authenticateToBusiness(authToken);
var bAuthToken = busAuthResult.AuthenticationToken;
var bNoteStoreUri = busAuthResult.NoteStoreUrl;
TTransport noteStoreTransport = new THttpClient(new Uri(bNoteStoreUri));
TProtocol noteStoreProtocol = new TBinaryProtocol(noteStoreTransport);
var noteStore = new NoteStore.Client(noteStoreProtocol);
var notebook = noteStore.getNotebook(bAuthToken, notebookGuid);
var sharedNotebook = new SharedNotebook();
sharedNotebook.Email = "test#test.com";
sharedNotebook.NotebookModifiable = true;
sharedNotebook.AllowPreview = true;
sharedNotebook.NotebookGuid = notebookGuid;
noteStore.createSharedNotebook(bAuthToken, sharedNotebook);
The account I'm using has access to share the notebook, so I can't figure out where this error is coming from. I haven't been able to find anything on sharing business notebooks, so any ideas or links would be greatly appreciated!

I think NotebookModifiable is deprecated. Instead, can you add privilege? After that, hopefully you would get another error message that tell you exactly what other parameters like recipientSettings you have to add.

How to create New EPT by using CSOM

I try to create a new EPT (project server 2013) using C# CSOM library.
But It has following error occurred.
"PJClientCallableException: EnterpriseProjectTypeInvalidCreatePDPUid"
Couple of article tell to change the "IsCreate=true". But it does not success for me. Here is the code what I have done.
public void CreateEnterpriseProjectType(Guid eptGuid, string eptName, string eptDescription)
{
ProjectContext pwaContext = new ProjectContext(this.PWA_URL);
EnterpriseProjectTypeCreationInformation eptData = new EnterpriseProjectTypeCreationInformation();
eptData.Id = eptGuid;
eptData.Name = eptName;
eptData.Description = eptDescription;
eptData.IsDefault = false;
eptData.IsManaged = true;
eptData.WorkspaceTemplateName = "PROJECTSITE#0";
eptData.ProjectPlanTemplateId = Guid.Empty;
eptData.WorkflowAssociationId = Guid.Empty;
eptData.Order = 4;
List<ProjectDetailPageCreationInformation> projectDetailPages = new
List<ProjectDetailPageCreationInformation>() {
new ProjectDetailPageCreationInformation() {
Id = pwaContext.ProjectDetailPages[1].Id, IsCreate = true }
};
eptData.ProjectDetailPages = projectDetailPages;
pwaContext.Load(pwaContext.EnterpriseProjectTypes);
pwaContext.ExecuteQuery();
EnterpriseProjectType newEpt = pwaContext.EnterpriseProjectTypes.Add(eptData);
pwaContext.EnterpriseProjectTypes.Update();
pwaContext.ExecuteQuery();
}
Can anyone explain the issue or provide the working code part.

I would like to suggest the following:
Define an enterprise project type:
string basicEpt = "Enterprise Project"; // Basic enterprise project type.
int timeoutSeconds = 10; // The maximum wait time for a queue job, in seconds.
And then, when you create the new project, work like this:
ProjectCreationInformation newProj = new ProjectCreationInformation();
newProj.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
newProj.Name = "Project Name";
newProj.Description = "Test creating a project with CSOM";
newProj.Start = DateTime.Today.Date;
// Setting the EPT GUID is optional. If no EPT is specified, Project Server
// uses the default EPT.
newProj.EnterpriseProjectTypeId = GetEptUid(basicEpt);
PublishedProject newPublishedProj = projContext.Projects.Add(newProj);
QueueJob qJob = projContext.Projects.Update();
// Calling Load and ExecuteQuery for the queue job is optional.
// projContext.Load(qJob);
// projContext.ExecuteQuery();
JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(qJob, timeoutSeconds);
When the last line of that piece of code ends, the project must be created and published in order to define tasks or whatever.
I don't know what is happening to your code, seems great.
Hope it helps to you,

How can i add item to array of web service class?

I am using a SOAP web service that includes its own class.
Web Service recieve an array and I want to create many items and add them to the array but I don't know how.
Here is my code:
*wshr = Name of web service
wshr.HConductor _HCond = new wshr.HConductor();
_HCond.TpoDocumento = "L.E.";
_HCond.NroDocumento = "12345678";
_HCond.FecInicio = "27/02/2016";
_HCond.HorInicio = "08:00";
_HCond.FecTermino = "27/02/2016";
_HCond.HorTermino = "09:00";
wshr.HConductor[] listaConductores = new wshr.HConductor[]
{
_HCond
};

wshr.HConductor[] listaConductores = new wshr.HConductor[5]
listaConductores[0]= yourlistaConductores1
listaConductores[1]= yourlistaConductores2
listaConductores[2]= yourlistaConductores3
listaConductores[3]= yourlistaConductores4
listaConductores[4]= yourlistaConductores5

How to update an existing exchange rate

Using the ExchangeRateServiceClient every time I try to use client.create for currency a currency code pair I get an exception
Cannot create a record in Exchange rate currency pair (ExchangeRateCurrencyPair). From currency: USD, EUR. The record already exists.
System.Exception {System.ServiceModel.FaultException}
I am brand new to the AX API...I am using C#
AXDev09.ExchangeRateServiceCreateRequest request =
new AXDev09.ExchangeRateServiceCreateRequest();
AXDev09.ExchangeRateServiceClient client = new AXDev09.ExchangeRateServiceClient();
request.CallContext = new AXDev09.CallContext();
request.CallContext.Language = "en-us";
request.CallContext.Company = "T51";
request.CallContext.MessageId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
AXDev09.AxdEntity_CurrencyPair[] myPair = new AXDev09.AxdEntity_CurrencyPair[1];
myPair[0] = new AXDev09.AxdEntity_CurrencyPair();
myPair[0].ToCurrencyCode = "EUR";
myPair[0].FromCurrencyCode = "USD";
AXDev09.AxdEntity_ExchangeRate[] myExchange = new AXDev09.AxdEntity_ExchangeRate[1];
myExchange[0] = new AXDev09.AxdEntity_ExchangeRate();
myExchange[0].ExchangeRate = Convert.ToDecimal("0.708");
myExchange[0].ExchangeRateSpecified = true;
myPair[0].ExchangeRate = myExchange;
myPair[0].ExchangeRateDisplayFactor = AXDev09.AxdEnum_ExchangeRateDisplayFactor.One;
myPair[0].ExchangeRateType = "Average";
AxdType_DateTime myFromDate = new AxdType_DateTime();
myFromDate.localDateTime = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
myFromDate.timezone = AxdEnum_Timezone.GMTMINUS0600CENTRALTIME;
myFromDate.Value = myFromDate.localDateTime;
AxdType_DateTime myToDate = new AxdType_DateTime();
myToDate.localDateTime = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
myToDate.timezone = AxdEnum_Timezone.GMTMINUS0600CENTRALTIME;
myToDate.Value = myToDate.localDateTime;
request.LedgerExchangeRate = new AXDev09.AxdLedgerExchangeRate();
request.LedgerExchangeRate.CurrencyPair = myPair;
request.LedgerExchangeRate.ValidFromDateTime = myFromDate;
request.LedgerExchangeRate.ValidToDateTime = myToDate;
client.Open();
client.create(request.CallContext, request.LedgerExchangeRate);
client.Close();

The ExchangeRateServiceClient does appear to be a standard API.
The standards web service is called LedgerExchangeRateService.
If you provide two currencies, then try to reverse them.

if the error message is to be believed, seems like the issue is when it tries to create the ExchangeRateCurrencyPair
there is a no-duplicates index on:
fromCurrency
toCurrency
ExchangeRateType
"I am trying to add a new currency rate...with a new set from from-to but I keep getting "The record already exists" error eventhough I'm setting new FROM-TO dates."
it seems to be objecting to ExchangeRateCurrencyPair(not to the date effective bits) maybe try selecting the pair instead of attempting to create it every time--or maybe try debugging through a successful new pair to see if a tweak may be needed in the standard service
