Techie's Diary

I created an Asp.Net Core 2.x Web API and configured Swagger on it, below is the code added in Configure method under Startup.cs file, for full swagger configuration, check here //Add swagger configuration app.UseSwagger(); app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" ); }); On my local machine when I run the API it is automatically redirected to the Swagger page. However, when I hosted this API as an Azure web app it is not redirecting directly to the Swagger and to access the swagger, I had to append /swagger in the URL, for example, https://testapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ Solution: Set RoutePrefix to string.Empty under app.UseSwaggerUI like below: app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" );      c.RoutePrefix = string .Empty; // Set Swagger UI at apps root }); And that’s it, now when you b...

Recently, while working with .Net core API I came across the issue of “Error 405 — Methods not Allowed” After some research, I found out that both GET and POST requests working fine but neither PUT nor DELETE requests working. Another thing is that the PUT and DELETE request was also working fine on my local machine but failed when we host on our Azure server. When I explored the issue on the web it led me to the conclusion that WebDAVModule seems to set PUT and DELETE request methods disabled by default and due to that PUT and DELETE throw 405 errors. To make the PUT and DELETE requests work, we need to override the WebDAVModule setting in web.config file by adding the below settings under “ system.webServer ”. < system.webServer >   < modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests = " false " >     < remove name = " WebDAVModule " />   </ modules > </ system.webServer > There may be 2 web.config files in y...

Geocoding is the process of getting the latitude and longitude of an address or set of addresses, which you can use to place markers or position the map. Geocoding can be done on the client-side as well as on the server-side, based on your requirements you need to choose one out of both options. For geocoding I am using Google Maps API which is quite reliable and faster in response to other geocoding APIs. You can check the JSON response by directly running the API with the address on the browser window or you can take service of POSTMAN as well. Sample JSON response of Google Map API is given below: Requested geocoding of "Gurgaon" using Google Maps API Request: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=true&address=Gurgaon Response: {     "results" : [        {            "address_components" : [          ...

While working on multi language support we need to insert different language data in same field or different fields of a SQL server table. There are two basic rules one need to keep in mind while storing multi lingual or Unicode data: ·          First is column must be of Unicode data type (i.e., nchar, nvarchar, ntext). ·          And second is that the value must be prefixed with N while insertion. Below is the sample script with output to understand it better. USE MASTER GO -- Drop and Create TestMultiLingualDB IF db_id ( 'TestMultiLingualDB' ) IS NOT NULL       DROP DATABASE TestMultiLingualDB GO SET NOCOUNT ON GO CREATE DATABASE TestMultiLingualDB GO USE TestMultiLingualDB GO CREATE TABLE MultiLanguage ( Id INT , Var_Field VARCHAR ( 50 ), NVar_Field NVARCHAR ( 50 )) GO -- Insert Hindi Characters INSERT ...
