How to Set a property of an Array type

Question

I have a SOAP Header in my application. I need to add a new value of type item with key pcimask and value true to the ClientContext

my clientcontext looks like this when populated:

{EvryCardManagement.ws.card.DCSSCardCreate_V3_0.ClientContextType}
channel: "NBA"
channelField: "NBA"
credentials: "token string"
credentialsField: "string"
customerid: ""
customeridField: ""
ip: "123.456.789.123"
ipField: "123.456.789.123"
item: null
itemField: null
locale: null
localeField: null
orgid: "123456"
orgidField: "123456"
orgunit: "123456"
orgunitField: "123456"
userid: "name"
useridField: "name"

after the I need to add a new element called pcimask with a value true.

UPDATE: in the wsdl there is an element called item (within the ClientContext), and I need to add it to the SOAP Message Headers like this: <item key="pcimask" value="true"/>

In the web-service WSDL the item that I need to set is defined like this:

private itemType[] itemField;

/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("item", IsNullable=true)]
public itemType[] item {
    get {
        return this.itemField;
        }
    set {
        this.itemField = value;
        }
    }

and so in my code that sets these values I have this:

ClientContextType clientContext = new ClientContextType();

clientContext.userid = edb_service[0].userid;

clientContext.credentials = Common.SOToken;

//clientContext.pc
clientContext.orgid = edb_service[0].orgid;
clientContext.orgunit = edb_service[0].orgunit;
clientContext.customerid = "";
clientContext.channel = edb_service[0].channel;
clientContext.ip = edb_service[0].ip;

and after the ip element I want to set the item:

clientContext.item = edb_service[0].pcimask;

but it won't compile as it's like an array or list, and I need to add a new item so it shows up in the header xml like this:

<item key=”pcimask” value=”true”>

What do I need to do?

Do you mean, what do you do after changing the ClientContextType class? — John Saunders

@JohnSaunders well, in the wsdl there is an element called item (within the ClientContext), and I need to add it to the SOAP Message Headers like this: <item key="pcimask" value="true"/> and despite reading all over the web about Message Interceptors, and Soap Extensions, I am completely lost. — Our Man in Bananas

You should not have to add anything. The question should be why isn't this already in the header. Did you try setting the "item" property? — John Saunders

I think you're right, I will update with the WSDL definition of the Item which I need to set. — Our Man in Bananas

@JohnSaunders: I have edited my question to clarify my problem, I think I am meant to add a new member to the item list — Our Man in Bananas

You would have to do something like

clientContext.item = new itemType[]{new itemType{key="pcimask", value="true"}};

item is an array. You have to create an array, populate it with the appropriate data, then use that array to set item. The above is a shortcut for doing that. Step by step:

itemType it = new itemType();
it.key = "pcimask";
it.value = "true";
itemType[] itArray = new itemType[];
itArray[0] = it;
clientContext.item = itArray;

BTW note that this has nothing to do with SOAP headers. Your problem was simply that you don't know how to set an array.
