Introduction

Question: What is select data using LINQ with WCF?

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

Step 1: Create a new webform project

Step 2: The complete code of webform1.aspx looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WCFAppusingLINQ.WebForm1" %> 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

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 WCFAppusingLINQ.ServiceReference1;
namespace WCFAppusingLINQ
{
    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }
        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GridView1.DataSource = objClient.GetAllEmployees();
            GridView1.DataBind();
        }
        #region Instance MembersService1Client objClient = new Service1Client();
        #endregion
    }
}


Step 4: Create a new "WCF Service Application" project, as in:

Output1.1.png

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 WCFLINQ
{
    // 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();
    }
}


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 WCFLINQ
{
    // 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();
        }
        #region Instance MembersCompanyEntities objEntities = new CompanyEntities();
        #endregion
    }
}


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

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

Question: What is deleting data using LINQ with WCF?

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

Step 1: Create a new webform project

Step 2: The complete code of webform1.aspx looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WCFDeleteUsingLINQApp.WebForm1" %> 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </center>
    </form>
</body>
</
html>

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 WCFDeleteUsingLINQApp.ServiceReference1;
namespace WCFDeleteUsingLINQApp
{
    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))

            }       
        }
        #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 WCFLINQDelete
{
    // 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 DeleteEmpData(int a);
    }
}


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 WCFLINQDelete
{
    // 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 DeleteEmpData(int a)
        {
            objEntities.DeleteEmployeeData(a);
        }
        #region Instance MembersCompanyEntities objEntities = new CompanyEntities();
        #endregion
    }
}


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

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