webserviceREST

Testing REST API development with C#, WCF web services, .NET and Visual Studios 2019

• Created svc file to implement the code
• Configured the Web.config file to change behavior to WebHttp to make it RESTful
• Created endpoints GET, POST, DELETE using WebGet and WebInvoke functions with RequestFormat/ResponseFormat in json.
• Tested endpoints using Fiddler and running localhost on Google Chrome

How it works

On Visual Studios, open the project then right click and set as Startup Project. Run the project. On Fiddler, Set the host, content-type: application/json.

Test on Fiddler:

GET http://localhost:65067/TutorialService.svc/Tutorial - Shows list of strings

GET http://localhost:65067/TutorialService.svc/Tutorial/{pid} - Shows the particular string assigned to that pid

POST http://localhost:65067/TutorialService.svc/Tutorial, Request Body: {'str': '[your string here]'} - Adds your string into the list

DELETE http://localhost:65067/TutorialService.svc/Tutorial/{pid} - Delete the string assigned to that pid from the list
