Error passing New-WebServiceproxy as a function parameter

Question

I'm trying to create a function that uses New-WebServiceProxy as a parameter, but I get an error. My function code:

function Execute-SOAPRequest () {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param
    (
        [Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $true)]
        [New-WebServiceproxy]$myService,
        [Parameter(Position = 1, Mandatory = $true)]
        [String]$url
    )

 write-host "Sending SOAP Request To Server: $url" 
 $myService.getUsers()
}

The error message:

At C:\myService.ps1:6 char:12
+         [New-WebServiceproxy]$myService,
+            ~
Missing ] at end of attribute or type literal.
At C:\myService.ps1:6 char:13
+         [New-WebServiceproxy]$myService,
+             ~
Parameter declarations are a comma-separated list of variable names with optional initializer expressions.
At C:\myService.ps1:6 char:13
+         [New-WebServiceproxy]$myService,
+             ~
Missing ')' in function parameter list.
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : EndSquareBracketExpectedAtEndOfAttribute

It doesn't like that dash-separated parameter's name [New-WebServiceproxy]. How to handle this?

Answer 1

New-WebServiceProxy is a cmdlet that returns an object of type WebServiceProxy. You cannot use a cmdlet to specify the type of your parameter $myService, use WebServiceProxy instead.
