Hello All.......

I am new in Asp.Net Web development..........

I am assigned a project which is using WCF REST architecture, it is WEBAPI, Service, the methods of which are called in mobile apps(android, ios). Most of the methods uses async to perform database operations.

I am not able to understand when to use async and when not.

Can anybody help me/suggest me links to get familier with WCF RESTful WebAPI Services & most importantly async based operations(C#)?

Thanks in advance.

- Regards

Both WCF Rest and WebAPI are different style but they follow only REST style. So which one will you work?
