Inserting and Retrieving data from database using WCF Service in Asp.net || Basic WCF Example for Inserting data into Database in Asp.net


For inserting data into database by using WCF service in asp.net, we have to do the following steps:

·         Create one WCF service
·         Create one Client Application  (means Design web forms and all)

First Create one WCF Service:

File à New à Project  à Visual C#  à WCF  àWCF Service Application  à Give the name for service  à OK


Then you will get 3 files
·         IService.cs
·         Service.svc
·         Service.svc.cs
 
For inserting and retrieving data from database you need to write the following code in IService.cs file

IService.cs Page :


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;


[ServiceContract]
public interface IService
{

    [OperationContract]
    List<UserDetails> GetUserDetails(string Username);

    [OperationContract]
    string InsertUserDetails(UserDetails userInfo);
}

// Use a data contract as illustrated in the sample below to add composite types to service operations.
[DataContract]
public class UserDetails
{
    string username = string.Empty;
    string firstname = string.Empty;
    string lastname = string.Empty;
    string location = string.Empty;

    [DataMember]
    public string UserName
    {
        get { return username; }
        set { username = value; }
    }
    [DataMember]
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return firstname; }
        set { firstname = value; }
    }
    [DataMember]
    public string LastName
    {
        get { return lastname; }
        set { lastname = value; }
    }
    [DataMember]
    public string Location
    {
        get { return location; }
        set { location = value; }
    }
}

  
And Write the following code in Service.cs file:

Service.cs Page :
  
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;


public class Service : IService
{
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=naresh;Initial Catalog=Register;User ID=sa;Password=123");
    public List<UserDetails> GetUserDetails(string Username)
    {
        List<UserDetails> userdetails = new List<UserDetails>();
        {
            con.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from UserInfo where UserName Like '%'+@Name+'%'", con);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", Username);
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            da.Fill(dt);
            if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
                {
                    UserDetails userInfo = new UserDetails();
                    userInfo.UserName = dt.Rows[i]["UserName"].ToString();
                    userInfo.FirstName = dt.Rows[i]["FirstName"].ToString();
                    userInfo.LastName = dt.Rows[i]["LastName"].ToString();
                    userInfo.Location = dt.Rows[i]["Location"].ToString();
                    userdetails.Add(userInfo);
                }
            }
            con.Close();
        }
        return userdetails;
    }

    public string InsertUserDetails(UserDetails userInfo)
    {
        string strMessage = string.Empty;
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into UserInfo(UserName,FirstName,LastName,Location) values(@Name,@FName,@LName,@Location)", con);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", userInfo.UserName);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FName", userInfo.FirstName);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LName", userInfo.LastName);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Location", userInfo.Location);
        int result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        if (result == 1)
        {
            strMessage = userInfo.UserName + " Details inserted successfully";
        }
        else
        {
            strMessage = userInfo.UserName + " Details not inserted successfully";
        }
        con.Close();
        return strMessage;
    }
}


Run your service in your browser then you will get one url link like below copy that URL :

WCF Service Url Link :



Now Create your Client Application in your system:
Create Client Application:

Create one Website add your Service Reference to Client Application.

Select Your Website àRight click on it à Add Service Reference à then Enter your Service URL (Paste what ever copied from your browser earlier) and Click Go àGive name for your service à OK


Then automatically Proxy will Create in your Client System.

Then Write the following code in your source code:

Source Code :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">

                </asp:GridView>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
    </body>
</html>

Add  your service reference on the top,
using ServiceReference1;

Then Create one Object for ServiceReference and use that object to call methods from your service.

Write the following code in your aspx.cs file
Default.aspx.cs page :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ServiceReference1;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    ServiceReference1.ServiceClient objService = new ServiceReference1.ServiceClient();

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            BindUserDetails();
        }
    }

    protected void BindUserDetails()
    {
        IList<UserDetails> objUserDetails = new List<UserDetails>();
        objUserDetails = objService.GetUserDetails("");

        GridView1.DataSource = objUserDetails;
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }

    protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        UserDetails userInfo = new UserDetails();
        userInfo.UserName = txtUserName.Text;
        userInfo.FirstName = txtfname.Text;
        userInfo.LastName = txtlname.Text;
        userInfo.Location = txtlocation.Text;
        string result = objService.InsertUserDetails(userInfo);
        lblResult.Text = result;
        BindUserDetails();
        txtUserName.Text = string.Empty;
        txtfname.Text = string.Empty;
        txtlname.Text = string.Empty;
        txtlocation.Text = string.Empty;
    }
}


Then Inserted your data into Database and showed in Gridview.
