Final Exam Schedule
This lecture focuses on building Web Services with Asp.Net Core Web API. Web services provide a web-based
API to serve data and operations to other applications.
Syllabus
describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates
for the assigned projects.
You are expressly requested to refrain from using site editors like Wix, web.com, or other web designers.
You may use any of the facilities of Visual Studio or any other text editor of your choice. This same rule
applies to your lab submissions as well.
For your Final Project demos you will be required to use only page links for navigation.
You may host and demonstrate your labs in the built-in Visual Studio web server.
All projects must use:
Asp.net core MVC - main site
Asp.net Web API - web service
Web API Client
SQL db storage
At least one static page that uses new features of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript6.
Everything below this line is now superceded by the Asp.Net WebApi and is not compatible with Asp.Net Mvc 5.
I left these materials here in case you need to
maintain some legacy code. You will need Visual Studio 2012 to build.
Asp.Net Mvc with WCF Service
MVC with Service - Interactive Demo
We create a simple MVC application, add a WCF service, and call it from the application controller methods and a seperate
desktop application, as well.
References for the code above:
To run a WCF service from Visual Studio you will need to run VS as administrator. To run an existing client in Visual Studio you may
need to refresh the service reference - expand the service references tab, right click on the service reference your client is using, and
select refresh. That is necessary because the tiny web server embedded in Visual Studio uses a different port number when restarted.
File Service - Lab #8, su10
Uploads and downloads binary files in blocks, using conventional file processing and WCF communication.
Timed File Streaming
Uses file streaming directly supported by the WCF infrastructure.
Other Sample Code you may wish to Look over:Hand-Crafted BasicHttpService
Shows how to define server channels and client proxies using WCF classes in a simple way for BasicHttpBinding. Hand-Crafted WsHttpService
Shows how to define server channels and client proxies using WCF classes in a simple way for WsHttpBinding. WCF Self Host Service
Microsoft's calculator service, used in many of the MS WCF Samples WCF Self Hosted Strings Service
Demonstrate service sending strings by value, reference, and receiving out string. WCF Instances
Show how to use each of the three server activation models using Microsoft Calculator service. WCF Message Passing Communication
Show how to build a simple, effective message-passing system using WCF data contract. WCF Wizard-based Service,

This project shows you what the C# WCF wizard generates. It's probably easier to start from one of my projects. MSDN Getting Started with WCF Tutorial
