How to send data from WebHook to WinForm?

Ivan Climov

7y8.2k.NET

I need a WinForm application that will be a client for Viber.

I created a WebHook that accepts POST requests from a Viber server.

POST request contains JSON.

WebHook created from ASP.NET Framework template "Empty" + "MVC".

Question.

1. How to make, that if WebHook receives POST request, then received JSON went to "WinForm"?

2. If this solution is not acceptable, then how to organize the transfer of data from WebHook to WinForm in the framework of another solution?

Code HookController.cs

namespace WebAppl.Controllers
{
public class HookController : Controller
{
// *** Original code ***
// GET: Hook
//public ActionResult Index()
//{
// return View();
//}
[HttpPost]
public string Index()
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(Request.InputStream))
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}

Hey @Ivan Climov

Replace the "roslyn" folder from WebApi-->bin folder with the attachment file.
Then rebuild the "WebApi" project and after that run the application

Thank you very much for your answer.
1. Could you recommend an example or link or "keywords" for a search on this decision?
2. The purpose of my main question of this topic: to get acquainted with the principles of work `Viber Api`
For this, I intend to host the application on the local computer.
WinWorm (user interface),
which will interact with the SQL server (or another database) and Web Server (for interaction between the `Viber Api` server).
Everything is placed on one computer and used by one user.
For the Internet, the application will open using `Ngrok`.
The `Ngrok` service for` http: // localhost: XXXXX` links yields links like `https: // 6eb5a091.ngrok.io /`
If this solution is not acceptable, then how to organize the transfer of data from Viber Api to WinForm in the framework of another solution?

Thanks for the example.
I will try to figure it out.
1. I run debugging.
I get an error
"Remote server returned error: (500) Internal server error."
I need to do the following:
- Visual Studio. Set to "run multiple projects at the same time";
- Visual Studio. Start debugging.

That is the polling option.

Or you can do that if the controller receives data, then they automatically get into "WinFom"?
I want to say that is it possible to make an event in the "controller" that will redirect the data received to the controller to "WinFom"?

That could be done with TCP, comparable to a chat application. Your winforms app should have a tcp server, ready for handling incoming messages. The website would use a TCP client to send data.

On the page with your article, I could not find a button to send a comment to the article.
Therefore, I am writing here.
If it's not difficult for you, could you write in more detail:
1. What projects are used in your solution?
I want to say what to describe how to create a "solution" based on your code.
If I understand your article correctly, then I must do the following:
1.1. create "Decision_1";
1.2. "Decision_1". create a project - ASP. "Project_1";
1.3. "Decision_1". create a project - WinFom. "Project_2";
1.4. "Project_1". Create controller "Controller_1".
1.5. "Project_1". "Controller_1". Add the `webPostMethod method (postData string, URL string)` to
1.6. "Project_2". Add the `webGetMethod (string URL)` method
1.7. "Project_2". Add the `callWebServices ()` method
1.8. Visual Studio. Set to "run multiple projects at the same time."
1.9. Visual Studio. Start debugging.
2. What is the principle of your decision.
If I understood correctly, then I receive data from the “Controller” only when calling a method from the “WinFom” project?
I need the data from the “Controller” to come to “WinFom”, automatically after receipt of the data in the “Controller”.
Your decision can do it?
3. How to post a comment on your article?
4. How to appeal to a specific user within the topic of this forum?
I want to say, if I am writing a message to a specific user, how can I make it receive an alert that I personally have addressed my message to a specific user?

1. WebAppl + WinForm are one solution and are on the same computer (Win7).
See the picture in question. "WinFor" - "startup project".
Could you describe in more detail how to do this?
If it is not difficult for you to find examples of code or links where you can see.
2. If the project (WebAppl + WinFor) (see the question screen) is located in one solution (on the Win7 computer), then how to add WebAppl from WinFor? Those. I launch WinFor, and WebAppl starts automatically.
Thank.

Is the winforms application on the same pc/server as your webhooks website is? Or are they completely seperated?

In the former case you can send via any method (TCP, message queue), in the latter case you'll have to let the winforms application poll the website for new information.
