This is my first semester taking C# and working on web services. I started the semester off learning SOAP, now I am learning REST. I hear REST is the more popular one to use. So far it seems harder to user to me, but I am still very new to it.
So I am trying to create restful service. Actually creating the service is working. I want to get a return int value from the service and on my client/console side store that int value into a int arrayList.
Problem is the rest service is returning the entire xml string. like this
<int xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">0</int>
I just want the 0, so I can store that value in my arrayList. I feel like C# should have some simple library or something that allows me to just get the values in between the xml tags.
I wrote up test code to get me a better idea of how to get data from my REST services.
Here is code in the service contract of WCF(we are supposed to use WCF in this assignment, so I am using it in my test code).
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
int getTrafficAccidentsByZip(int zCode);
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "latlonValues?lonVal={lonVal}&latVal={latVal}", BodyStyle =WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
int getTrafficAccidentByLonLat(double lonVal, double latVal);
// TODO: Add your service operations here
}
Here is the implementation of the contracts. Like I said, this is test code. So I am just returning 0
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public int getTrafficAccidentsByZip(int zCode)
{
return 0;
}
public int getTrafficAccidentByLonLat(double lonVal, double latValue)
{
return 0;
}
This is what I have in main. You can see below that I tried to convert the string to int. That caused an error.
string url = @"http://localhost:14722/Service1.svc/getTrafficAccidentsByZip";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
// int test = Convert.ToInt32( reader);
String json = reader.ReadToEnd();
// int test = Convert.ToInt32(json);
Console.WriteLine(json);
I feel like this should be really easy. BUT I have been having a hard time finding simple examples of how to do this online.
Any good online C# REST examples or youtube videos would be greatly appreciated. WIth examples. I learn from examples.
