Delete Data With Typed Dataset (XSD) Via WCF

Introduction

This article demonstrates an interesting and very useful concept in typed dataset.

Question: What is delete data with typed dataset (XSD) via WCF?

In simple terms "It provides the ability to delete data from a DB using a typed dataset using a WCF Service".

Step 1: Create a new web application

Step 4: The complete code of IService1.cs is as in the following:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using System.ServiceModel;

using System.ServiceModel.Web;

using System.Text;

namespace WCFService

{

    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.

    [ServiceContract]

    public interface IService1

    {

        [OperationContract]EmployeeDS.tblEmployeeDataTable GetAllEmployees();

        [OperationContract]

        void DeleteEmpData(int a);

    }

}

 

Step 5: The complete code of Service1.svc.cs is as in the following:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using System.ServiceModel;

using System.ServiceModel.Web;

using System.Text;

namespace WCFService

{

    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.

    public class Service1 : IService1

    {

        public EmployeeDS.tblEmployeeDataTable GetAllEmployees()

        {

            EmployeeDS.tblEmployeeDataTable objEmployeeTable = objAdapter.GetData();

            return objEmployeeTable;

        }

        public void DeleteEmpData(int a)

        {

            objAdapter.Delete(a);

        }

        #region Instance Membersreadonly EmployeeDSTableAdapters.tblEmployeeTableAdapter objAdapter = new EmployeeDSTableAdapters.tblEmployeeTableAdapter();

        #endregion

    }

}

Step 6: Adding a service reference

Step 7: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx is as in the following:

                </tr>

            </table>

        </div>

    </center>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

Step 8: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx.cs is as in the following:
 

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using DeleteData_XSD_WCF.ServiceReference1;namespace DeleteData_XSD_WCF

{

    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

    {

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text))

            {

                Label3.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";

                Label3.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

            }

            else

            {

                objClient.DeleteEmpData(int.Parse(TextBox1.Text));

                GridView1.DataSource = objClient.GetAllEmployees();

                GridView1.DataBind();

                Label3.Text = "Records Deleted Successfully";

                Label3.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

                TextBox1.Text = string.Empty;

            }

        }

        #region Instance MembersService1Client objClient = new Service1Client();

        #endregion

    }

}

Step 9: The output of the application is as in the following:
