No overload for method 'name' takes '2' arguments

[saldous]

I'm getting this error and I'm stumped:

No overload for method 'ReportTemplateRun' takes '2' arguments

Any assistence greatly appreciated, here is my code:

// Run a report
            int nCommunityID = 123;
            string nReportName = "Report1";
            string nReportOut = "";
            
            try
            {
                nReportOut = APISess.WebService.ReportTemplateRun(nCommunityID, nReportName);
            }
            catch (SoapException c)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(c.Message);
            }

I'm trying to use a 3rd party API, this bit below was provided by the 3rd party:

    public void ReportTemplateRun(AdminAPIReportTemplateID ReportTemplateID, bool IncludeSubCommunities, System.DateTime ReportStartDate, System.DateTime ReportEndDate, int ReportCommunityID, ref string ReportName) {
        object[] results = this.Invoke("ReportTemplateRun", new object[] {
                    ReportTemplateID,
                    IncludeSubCommunities,
                    ReportStartDate,
                    ReportEndDate,
                    ReportCommunityID,
                    ReportName});
        ReportName = ((string)(results[0]));
    }

Well, it seems pretty darn obvious. You have a method which takes *6* arguments and you are calling it with only *2*. Sometimes helps to read the error message

Doh! ok, thanks BigEd781.

Slightly different issue now though

How do I enter both values for AdminAPIReportTemplateID? I tried the below and it fails with AdminAPIReportTemplateID is a ‘type’ but is used like a ‘variable’.

sReportOut = APISess.WebService.ReportTemplateRun(AdminAPIReportTemplateID (nCommunityID,"test"), bIncludeSubs, sStartDate, sEndDate, nCommunityID, ref sReportName);

If I change it to:

sReportOut = APISess.WebService.ReportTemplateRun(nCommunityID, bIncludeSubs, sStartDate, sEndDate, nCommunityID, ref sReportName);

It also fails with: can’t convert from (int) to AdminAPIReportTemplateID

Any ideas?

(confused newbie!)

AdminAPIReportTemplateID is a type, so you will need to get an instance of that type and pass it to the method. Now, do not just copy this code in, it may well be wrong because I do not have the definition of AdminAPIReportTemplateID available, but it would look something like this:

AdminAPIReportTemplateID templateId = new AdminAPIReportTemplateID( );
