WCF / ASMX :: Windows Communication Foundation Service Returning Xml / Json Data?
Aug 25, 2010
I Need by service contract to return the xml/json result depending on the request type. function which will convert my result set (i am using linq to sql) so that i do not need to create the xml format for the result set by iterating through the table row many times.What is the suitable way to do that.
I need a kind of short cut method which will convert the table data to xml result.Had i been using asp.net mvc i would have been able to generate the xml data by overriding the the ExecuteResult method in the ActionResult and giving Conetnt-Type = "text/xml" as OP.But since i am using Wcf i don't have the controller context(as controller context is the parameter that needs to be passed to Execute Result).
My present code for converting the table data to the xml format is below.
public XDocument UsersLists(string authToken)
{
bool IsAuthenticated = Authenticate(authToken);
XDocument xDoc = new XDocument();
XElement root = new XElement("Users");
[Code]....
I need to eliminate this way of generating xml for each table records.
When i create a Windows Service for getting information from a Web Application(ASP.NET c#) for scheduling some task in the client machine.
To consume WCF from the web application. I added WCF reference to Window Service project as a service reference, everything seems fine. It updated app.config file, added service reference etc. it was not working.
I am beginner in the Windows Communication Foundation. I am reading about it. I am little bit confused with the word 'Windows'. WCF can be used for building the web services for window application as well as web application. Then what is meaning of the word 'Windows' in WCF ? Why we are calling it as a 'Windows' Communication foundation ?
I read some blog that If we host workflow foundation in asp.net, there will be issues with workflow persistence, is this correct? and what is the better idea to host workflow foundation on asp.net or on windows service?
I am having a simple WCF service hosted in my website. I am using a console client to send and receive messages from the service. It works fine when I run the WCF web host in my local computer, but fails badly with the SecurityNegotiation exception "The caller was not authenticated by the service". It works fine if I use basicHttpBinding, but fails for wsDualHttpBinding which is required for duplex communication.All the source code for both (console) client & (web) server can be downloaded at:http://www.supernovaservices.com/downloads/WfcEventService.zipI have searched a lot and could not get a proper answer
I'd like to read data server-side from a web service that outputs in json format. I haven't found any good examples that don't use jquery and are server-side.
Specifically I'm looking at the "weight" field from this api:
Just ramping up on JSON and JQuery and returning data to a ASP.NET web page from a web service using Ajax. The JQuery part is pretty straight-forward. However, when trying to return JSON formatted data instead of XML from a 2.0 web service, I'm stuck. The web service does have the System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService attribute, so I can hit it via JavaScript; however, the web service always...always...returns data in XML format, no matter if I explicitly say I want JSON as the datatype in my JQuery code. So I don't know if this is an issue with the web service or the JQuery code. I posted this here, but realize that the category could be incorrect depending on where the issue is. Is there no way to return JSON data from a 2.0 web service? It's a production web service, so I can't change the code unfortunately.
I am developing an application with WCF services. The basic functionaloty of a screen is to provide an entry screen to add particular entity. Once save even fired It will save the data to the database and call the bind method to bind into the grid by refreshing the latest data.
When I am running the site from my source (Visual Studio) , it works perfectly. When the client calls method to fetch the data the WCF service, it returns latest (added) data. But the issue comes in the server when it works with IIS. I deployed the code in the server, once the data added I am getting the old data only. But after two refresh I am getting the latest data.
what required to be done to get the latest record.
I am trying to deploy a wcf service. I have created a simple service, basically I have created a new wcf service and tried to deploy it however I get this error
The type 'WCF_Application.Service1', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations could not be found.
I am trying to deploy my service to a subdomain like https://services.mydomain.com/business
Ok so I am trying to setup a WCF web service. I thought I had my .svc and webConfig ready to go, but when I hit this service all I get is a blank page.
I'm using a web service and I want to return a list to my client. I am nearly newby at web services and I can't return a List<String> object to my client. But when i call the method it says "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]' to type 'System.String[]'" What should I do?
I've been reading quite a few tutorials on web services and xml files and one thing isn't quite clear to me. If I want to create an XML file on the fly the tutorials are pretty straight forward but, I want to grab an existing XML file from the web server and return the whole thing. Do I need to read the XML file and send each individual node or is there a way to send the file all at once? The tutorials imply that the whole file could be a node but I'm not clear on what that entails or if it would work. Also do you have a link to an example?
how to create a Web service that returns a JSON(or JSONP). That also should be able to work for cross-domain access aswell as for a local call.. help to get this working or for a few links for further reading about this
I have just started building an asp.net web service with visual studio 2005. However whenever i try and run the site i get this message, saying "debugging failed because integrated windows authentication is not enabled". I am at a loss of how to correct this problem.
I have an requirement to implement single sign on solution using SAML 2. I had a look at a tirdparty toolkit in componentspace, but I would prefer some microsoft components.
the features provided in componentspace toolkit can be done using some Microsoft .NET libraries itself. identify the microsoft way to do this?. I looked at the Windows Identity Foundation SDK, but it is now supported only for .NET 3.5. My web application is built on .NET 2.0.
Is there any alternative for Windows Identity Foundation in .NET framework 2.0?
This is probably something simple. The following JQuery call is executing and calling the controller. The controller is executing correctly. I used the sample data that's commented out to verify that the templates were working also. However, the success function is not executing in the browser. Any thoughts or other ways I can debug this?
I'm writing an ASP.net application that uses Windows Identity Foundation. My ASP.net application uses claims-based authentication with passive redirection to a security token service. This means that when a user accesses the application, they are automatically redirected to the Security Token Service where they receive a security token which identifies them to the application.
In ASP.net, security tokens are stored as cookies.
I want to have something the user can click on in my application that will delete the cookie and redirect them to the Security Token Service to get a new token. In short, make it easy to log out and log in as another user. I try to delete the token-containing cookie in code, but it persists somehow.
How do I remove the token so that the user can log in again and get a new token?
I create web service for Reading and writing the registry. It works fine in win-xp. But its not working when I published it in win-2008 server. It shows me http 500 error.
I am using JQuery & JSON (POST) to call webmethod. However I can call only webmethod located at aspx file but not in asmx file Below are sample codes
CustomValidate.asmx Imports System.Web.Services Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols Imports System.ComponentModel Public Class CustomValidate Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService 'ACCESS VIA JSON <System.Web.Services.WebMethod()> _ Public Shared Function AJAX_Test(ByVal date1) As Boolean... Return True End Function End Class Javascript: JQuery JSON function isDates(source, arguments) { var isValidDate; $.ajax({ type: "POST", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", url: "CustomValidate.asmx/AJAX_Test", data: '{date1: "' + arguments.Value + '"}', dataType: "json", async: false, success: function(result) { isValidDate = result; }, error: function(httpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert("status=" + textStatus + ",error=" + errorThrown); } }); arguments.IsValid = isValidDate; }
It always return javascript undefined error. But if I put the AJAX_Test webmethod in aspx page and replace the url: "CustomValidate.asmx/AJAX_Test" to "mypage.aspx/AJAX_Test". It works fine.
I am new to WCF, I was using web service asmx before. I have trouble on making my wcf JSON ajax service work through http like asmx.Could you help me see what wrong in my code?My WCF services are defined in my website application folder. My aim is to call this service in my aspx page java-script code and return complex object back as JSON to my javascript. I have no problem on doing this through classic asmx web service.
When I try to test it through my browser by type this in the URL , URL-http://localhost:3849/WebServices/Account/WCFCompanyService.svc/GetAll. it return "Method not allowed."
But if I type just this URL-http://localhost:3849/WebServices/Account/WCFCompanyService.svc, it return this:
WCFCompanyService Service
You have created a service.To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:
This will generate a configuration file and a code file that contains the client class. Add the two files to your client application and use the generated client class to call the Service. For example:
C#
class Test { static void Main() { HelloClient client = new HelloClient();
I am create an iPhone app that needs to talk to a Windows C# app. The app will run as either a Service or Form Application.
What would be the best way to accomplish this? Ideally exposing a service-type architecture would be best as I don't need a stateful connection (stateless is fine in this case).
Can a WCF service hosted by my app using a form of TCP binding be consumed by my iPhone? Or can an app host using httpBinding without the aid of IIS or some other web server?
Our solutions requires validating users against a custom database. This also includes roles which dictates what he user can do in the system. What is the best way to implement implement security, is it to use Windows Identity Foundation or the default Membership Provider and Role Provider that comes with .net?
