Getting started with ASP.Net Web API Tutorials

Introduction to ASP.NET Web API Features and why should we use Web API?
HTTP is not just for serving up web pages. It is also a powerful platform for building APIs that expose services and data. HTTP is simple, flexible, and ubiquitous. Almost any platform that you can think of has an HTTP library.


 Difference between Web API, WCF and Web Service
So now we have got the basic idea about Web API, now let’s do some comparison of Web API with WCF and web services.


Your First ASP.NET Web API
ASP.NET Web API is a framework for building web APIs on top of the .NET Framework. In this tutorial, we’ll create a web API in ASP.Net to become familiar with Web API.



Calling or consuming the ASP.Net Web API using jQuery and JavaScript
In our last post we have created our first Web API and invoked the web API directly from the browser; in this article we will use jQuery/JavaScript for calling the Web API methods.



Hope you have enjoyed learning Web API, your comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J

Difference between Web API, WCF and Web Service

So now we have got the basic idea about Web API , now let’s do some comparison of Web API with WCF and web services. Web Service WCF Web API Web services are created as files with .asmx extension. WCF create with .svc extension Web API are simple class file with .cs(for C#) extension. Web API is inherited from “ApiController” and the class name must end with “Controller”. It is SOAP based service and returns data in XML form. It is also based on SOAP and returns data in XML form. Web API is HTTP based service and by default, it returns data in JSON or XML form. It supports only HTTP protocol. It supports various protocols like TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, Named Pipes, and MSMQ. It supports HTTP protocol. It can be hosted only on IIS. It can be hosted within the application or on IIS or using window service. It can be hosted within the application or on IIS. It is no...
