C# - How To Utilize A Rest API In 3.5
Nov 29, 2010
I have been given some basic documentation of the RazorGator REST API and need to incorporate it into an ASP.NET 3.5 site. I've created my class file to call the API which contains my WebRequest.Create ("URL TO API"). How do I then make the output available so that it can be consumed by other pages? That is, the tickets.aspx page needs to obtain the output results of this API call. What constructs should I use to make this available in tickets.aspx?
Edit
Here's the code I've written thus far:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
namespace SeatEater.Web.UI.search
{
public class RazorGatorService
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://api.razorgator.com/ticketservice/ticets.xml?blahblah") as HttpWebRequest ;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, encode);
response.close();
readStream.close();
}
}
I receive the error message:
A field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic field, method, or property 'field'
in the second line of the above codeblock. I'm very new to using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse. Can you advise me as to how to rectify the error message I'm receiving?

I have looked at nearly every single WCF Rest PUT/POST issues on SO here and have still been unable to determine why I am unable to PUT or POST to my web service but am able to call a test GetTime method via GET. This particular service exchanges custom credential information (username, password and some other information) for a token. This token information is encrypted and added to the header of subsequent requests to other web services so that username/passwords don't have to be passed around everywhere. All web service calls are still treated as stateless, but require this auth header information rather username/passwords to access secured service operations.
[Code]....
I have also checked in IIS 7 the handler mappings for *.svc and checked that 'all verbs' are enabled.

I need to call a Rest service but would like to do so without having to redirect. Here is my dilemma. The Rest service we are trying to integrate offers the option to sign up for a subscription but does not allow us to upgrade an existing subscription. So if a user wants to upgrade an existing subscription we have to first cancel and then have the user sign up for a brand new subscription. I don't know how I can make this so it flows nicely in my code. I ideally I would like to do something like this
User decides to upgrade
Click upgrade button
Existing account is being cancelled, if cancellation was successful
New account is being created
How can I do this with a Rest service? Here is a sample URI/URL
https://someservice.com?
Action=CancelSubscriptionAndRefund
&AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIIFXJCFIHITREP4Q
&CallerReference=CallerReference07
&CancelReason=MyWish
&RefundAmount.CurrencyCode=USD
&RefundAmount.Value=1
&SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
&SignatureVersion=2
&Signature=1uFUSSFvau1zadnSzKRS5ZchuLMn9p5M3ifaHGHie7M%3D
&SubscriptionId=17d62772-c53e-4bdb-9667-65d7b7841cfc
&Timestamp=2009-10-06T08%3A05%3A13.296Z
&Version=2008-09-
Could anybody give me some ideas how to make this work in an elegant manner. We thought we could keep the old subscription and then just sign the user up for a new subscription for the difference of the money. For example the first subscription would be 2.95 and the second one would be 2.00 which would amount to a subscription of 4.95. I think it is not elegant and the user would see 2 charges on the credit card, weird, I think. Since I don't know much about Rest maybe there is a way that this can be solved.

I know this may be a simple answer or at least to most people but I'm not getting anywhere when attempting this on my own or through the various resources I have looked up.
Here is my issue:
I am using ASP/VB.NET to build this integration. Visual Studio 2008. I previously had asked a question on API Integration on here and utilized that information to successfully perform the next steps. As this API is written differently I may not be grasping the appropriate functions correctly.
A company has given me several addresses for .ASMX portals. I add these into my service references. I can successfully see objects in my object browser and see all the procedures, etc., but further from here I'm unable to correctly use any objects. I attempted to replicate the integration based on my last API question and advice: Connecting to an API offered by a Company. When I'm attempting to use an object or simply relate a field to something on my script I continually get an error.
For example:
Dim A as New API.AddFunction
A.AccountNo = "123"
When running the page:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Here is only one .ASMX I was given. I cannot release any more, until I receive permission to do so from the provider, I apologize.
[URL]
Anyhow, the root of my question is really how do I correctly interface with this API? What information do responders require so I can clarify this question more?

I am trying to utilize an AnimationExtender that will fade in an asp:LinkButton. My page includes 4 user controls that each load information at different intervals. What I am wanting to do is fade in the asp:LinkButton after the last user control has loaded. I have tried using <OnLoad> but the fade in occurs while the user controls are still loading. I have also tried wrapping the user controls in a panel (seen below), using the panel as the TargetControlID of the AnimationExtender. My end goal here is pretty simple: The user should not see the asp:LinkButton until after the page (including the 4 user controls) has loaded.
Here is my markup for this seciont of code:
<div>
<div>
<div>
<h2>Header Text</h2>
<div>
<cc1:AnimationExtender ID="AnimationExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="Panel1">
<Animations>
<OnLoad>
<FadeIn Duration="2" Fps="20" AnimationTarget="LinkButton1"></FadeIn>
</OnLoad>
</Animations>
</cc1:AnimationExtender

We are trying to remove the global.asax from our many web applications in favor of HttpModules that are in a common code base. This works really well for many application events such as BeginRequest and PostAuthentication, but there is no Application Start event exposed in the HttpModule.
I can think of a couple of smelly ways to overcome this deficit. For example, I can probably do this:
protected virtual void BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Log.Debug("Entered BeginRequest...");
var app = HttpContext.Current.Application;
var hasBeenSet app["HasBeenExecuted"] == null ? false : true;
if(!hasBeenSet)
{
app.Lock();
// ... do app level code
app.Add("HasBeenExecuted", true);
app.Unlock();
}
// do regular begin request stuff ...
}
But this just doesn't smell well to me.
What is the best way to invoke some application begin logic without having a global.asax?

I've been working on the Music Store tutorial and I cannot get my site to utilize the Album.ascx view template. For now I'll give the short version of my problem because I'm thinking I'm just missing something obvious. I'll provide further elaboration/code if needed. I'm stuck on Part 4. From my understanding, after adding the Shared folder and adding the Album.ascx partial file, I should be seeing this after browsing to the Store Manager Index and selecting an album to edit: Instead, I'm still seeing this: I even copied the code from the dowloaded solution for the Edit.aspx and Album.ascx files. It seems my project is completely disregarding my View Template.

There is one page which is actually a streaming to The Axis IP camera which spits MJPEG output.It requires user to log in with the user name/password promp on browser .I am using this stream to show video directly on a web page.It shows video correctly but asks user to provide correct user name and password set for the camera,I tried to logging in to this camera on server side using HTTP requests and then I realized I authenticated server request not the browser the end user is using.
So what I want is a method server side or client side, that can allow me to log-in to camera automatically when my end-users visit this page.I am using asp.net with c# 2005

I need to style the asp:Menu so the navigation buttons have rounded corners.
I have a javascript-based navigation menu (not asp.net) that uses images to simulate rounded corner navigation. However, I think I have to use an asp:Menu for my asp.net 4 website instead of a static page navigation menu.
I also plan to use Dynamic Data on multiple tabbed pages.

I need to utilize about 30 different database values from within a repeater ItemDataBound Event and I am wondering if there is a better way to do it. I am currently exposing them by doing something like this 30 times:
[Code]....
Rather than making 30 declarations, is there a way I can make them all available as short variable names? The variable name could be the same as the field name.

tried so many different things but havent got past this seemingly trivial problem. I created a WCF service application from visual studio 2010 WCF templates. it generated the IService.cs and Service1.svc files and generated the web.config
i created a website in IIS 7 on windows 2008, and pointed it to the app folder. when i go to [URL] via web browser, i get a message indicating service is running and suggests using svcutil etc etc., but when i go to [URL] the web browser says 400 bad request. this is without changing anything from what VS generated. the operation contract looks like
[Code]....
Update: forgot to mention i even tried decorating the operation with WebGet attribute with UriTemplate parameter, without luck.

I am using the new .NET 4 WCF REST web services. In order to link resources, I'd like to put links in my responses. In ASP.NET I can generate URLs from my routing configuration (e.g. UrlHelper.Action(...))
With WCF REST web services I have an ASP.NET routing configuration plus Uri templates:
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "{id}")]
MyResult Index(string id) {...}
I want to store related URIs in my result objects. How can I construct URLs from my routing configuration + UriTemplates without hardcoding base URLs or other information?

I have three Divs on the page and they are absolute positioned. Lets call them leftDiv,middleDiv,rightDiv and middleDiv width is 900px which is okay but the left and right divs should fill the remaining the left and right parts respectively no matter what screen size is.
The reason why I use absolute positioning is because it is the only way to use height:100% to fill the page.
So how can I fill the remaining parts?
Of course these divs separate page into three pieces according to their names imply.

I am parsing a tweet and need to search for any words that begin with '@'. I want to turn the rest of the word after the '@' into a hyperlink. I have a partial solution, but my problem is that the link which gets generated includes the '@' in the link text and the hyperlink, but I only want the text after the '@'.
Example:
"Username @SomeName blah blah blah blah"
I want to create the hyperlink text: http://twitter/SomeName
I have the following partial solution:
ASP Code:
body = Regex.Replace(body, "(@[^ ]*[a-zA-Z0-9])", "<a href="http://www.twitter.com/$1" target="_blank">$1</a>");

Everything looks good but Wireshark shows 505 coming back (HTTP/1.1 505 HTTP Version Not Supported). Tomcat admin sites post that says .NET has a known bug where HTTP 1.1 is handled correctly:
[URL]
To me it seems like a Tomcat issue because I trust that if this was a Microsoft issue they would've released a patch by now, but regardless, he thinks that if I change to HTTP 1.0 the problem will resolve itself. I do not see any property in HttpClient or HttpClient.TransportSettings to control this.
Has anyone ran into this before or know how to set the HTTP version with the REST API?

I'm investigating creating a WCF REST service for an existing asp.net application to be consumed by various clients including Windows Phone 7, Android, iPhone apps etc.Creating a simple WCF REST service and consuming it from the above platforms is not a problem and works really well. What I am struggling to get my head around is authorization.The asp.net application uses the Membership provider to provide authentication and authorization and I'm comfortable in using that API from the REST service.
How do I secure my REST service so that the first call has to be to authenticate (passing the username and password) and following calls know who is 'logged in'. I'm guessing the authenticate method will have to pass back some sort of token to be used in subsequent calls identifying the caller. Is this secure enough as the whole site / service is over SSL?

Trying to deploy a wcf rest service inside of an asp.net web application. Works wonderfully when deploying to test server in visual studio, however when i deploy to iis 6 I get nothing. It is as if my service is not there at all.
here is my web config under system.service model:
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
and im registering a route in the global.cs
routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("Service", new WebServiceHostFactory3(), typeof(WcfJQueryService)));
my web service class is decorated with:
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)]
I am using windows authentication if that matters in this case.
