Insert and Update Data Using LINQ With WCF

Introduction

Question: What is inserting data using LINQ with WCF?

In simple terms "It enables insertion of data using LINQ queries via WCF Service".

Step 1: Create a new webform project

Step 3: The complete code of webform1.aspx.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using
System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using WCFAppusingLINQInsert.ServiceReference1;
namespace
WCFAppusingLINQInsert
{
    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) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text)
                || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox3.Text))
            {
                Label5.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";
                Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            }
           
else
            {
                objClient.PutEmployee(TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, int.Parse(TextBox3.Text));
                GridView1.DataSource = objClient.GetAllEmployees();
                GridView1.DataBind();
                Label5.Text = "Records Inserted Successfully";
                Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

            }
        }
        #region Instance MembersService1Client objClient = new Service1Client();
        #endregion
    }
}

Step 4: Create a new "WCF Service Application" project.

Step 5: The complete code of IService1.cs looks like this:

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;
namespace WCFLINQInsert
{
   
// 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]
        List<Employee> GetAllEmployees();
        [OperationContract]
        void PutEmployee(string a, string b, int c);
    }
}


Step 6: The complete code of Service1.svc.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using
System.Text;
namespace WCFLINQInsert
{
   
// 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 List<Employee> GetAllEmployees()
        {
            var query = (from r in objEntities.Employee select r);
            return query.ToList();
        }
        public void PutEmployee(string a, string b, int c)
        {
            objEntities.InsertEmployeeData(a, b, c);
        }
        #region Instance MembersCompanyEntities objEntities = new CompanyEntities();
        #endregion
    }
}

Step 7: The output of the application looks like this:

Step 8: The output of the data inserted output operation result looks like this:

Question: What is updating data using LINQ with WCF?

In simple terms "It enables the update of data using LINQ queries via WCF Service".
