WEB API code how to consume it in ASP.Net MVC

Hi All,

I have a question that I have a post method code in WEB API in which I need to consume it in MVC.

[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("NewVendorRegistration")]
public IHttpActionResult InsertVendor()
{
//Passing Values in form data in PostMan
var FirstName = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["FirstName"];
var LastName = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["LastName"];
var EmailId = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["EmailId"];
var MobileNo = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["MobileNo"];
var UserName = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["UserName"];
var Password = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["Password"];
var Address = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["Address"];
var IDProof = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["IDProof"];
var VendorPhoto = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["VendorPhoto"];
var CreatedBy = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["CreatedBy"];
if (FirstName != null && LastName != null && EmailId != null && MobileNo != null && UserName != null
&& Password != null && Address != null && IDProof !=null && CreatedBy != null)
{
string sReturn = string.Empty;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnStr"].ConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spVendorRegistration", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@QueryType", "Insert");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", FirstName.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LastName", LastName.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmailId", EmailId.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MobileNo", MobileNo.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Address", Address.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@IDProof", IDProof.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserName",UserName.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password", Password.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ActiveStatus", "Y");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CreatedBy", CreatedBy.Trim());
if (VendorPhoto != null)
{
IList AllowedFileExtensions = new List { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png" };
var ext = VendorPhoto.FileName.Substring(VendorPhoto.FileName.LastIndexOf('.'));
var extension = ext.ToLower();
if (!AllowedFileExtensions.Contains(extension))
{
VendorStr VendorData = new VendorStr
{
Response = "Please Upload image of type .jpg,.png.",
StatusCode = 0
};
return Ok(VendorData);
}
int MaxContentLength = 1024 * 1024 * 1; //Size = 1 MB
if (VendorPhoto.ContentLength > MaxContentLength)
{
var message = string.Format("Please Upload a file upto 1 mb.");
VendorStr VendorData = new VendorStr
{
Response = "Please Upload a file upto 1 mb.",
StatusCode = 0
};
return Ok(VendorData);
}
var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Images/Vendor/" + VendorPhoto.FileName);
if (File.Exists(filePath))
{
File.Delete(filePath);
}
VendorPhoto.SaveAs(filePath);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@VendorPhoto", filePath.Trim());
}
SqlParameter RuturnValue = new SqlParameter("@SQLReturn", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
RuturnValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add(RuturnValue);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sReturn = cmd.Parameters["@SQLReturn"].Value.ToString();
string[] sResult = sReturn.Split('~');
con.Close();
if (sResult[0].Trim() == "Success")
{
VendorStr Vendors = new VendorStr
{
Response = "Successfully Inserted",
StatusCode = 1
};
return Ok(Vendors);
}
else if (sResult[0].Trim() == "Already")
{
VendorStr Vendors = new VendorStr
{
Response = sResult[1].Trim(),
StatusCode = 0
};
return Ok(Vendors);
}
else
{
VendorStr Vendors = new VendorStr
{
Response = "Must Pass Correct Input Parameters",
StatusCode = 0
};
return Ok(Vendors);
}
}
else
{
VendorStr Vendors = new VendorStr
{
Response = "Must Pass All Parameters",
StatusCode = 0
};
return Ok(Vendors);
}
}

Hi Rajeesh Menoth Sir,

I need to consume the post method in MVC with the passing values as form data.

Hi,

How you are going to consume ? Normal case the "Get" Method will return the information and that we will bind into the respective view or other if you have return the response in post method like object or list information other than success message then just bind the return view instead of giving "return OK()" - This will only give 200 message or success message.
