CRUD Operations Using Web API 2 And Stored Procedure With A Sample Desktop Application

CRUD


Figure 1: Database

Sample Database

Let’s create a sample database named ‘SampleDB’ with SQL Management Studio. Using the ‘SampleDB’ now create a Table and name it ‘tblCustomer’.

Script

  1. CREATETABLE [dbo].[tblCustomer]
  2. (  
  3.     [CustID] [bigint] NOTNULL,  
  4.     [CustName] [nvarchar](50)NULL,  
  5.     [CustEmail] [nvarchar](50)NOTNULL,  
  6.     [CustAddress] [nvarchar](256)NULL,  
  7.     [CustContact] [nvarchar](50)NULL,  
  8. CONSTRAINT [PK_tblCustomer] PRIMARYKEYCLUSTERED  
  9. (  
  10.     [CustID] ASC,  
  11.     [CustEmail] ASC  
  12. )WITH (PAD_INDEX=OFF,STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE=OFF,IGNORE_DUP_KEY=OFF,ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS=ON,ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS=ON)ON [PRIMARY]  
  13. )ON [PRIMARY]  
  14.   
  15. GO  
Stored Procedure

Now in the following step we will perform CRUD operations with stored procedure:
  1. First we will create a stored procedure (SP) to RETRIVE record from Customer table.
  2. Now we will create a stored procedure( SP) to INSERT record into Customer table.
  3. Now we will create another procedure (SP) to UPDATE existing data in our Customer table.
  4. The last step we will create a stored procedure to DELETE existing record from customer table.

Stored Procedure to RETRIVE Record

Let’s Start

Open Visual Studio 2015, Click File, New, then Project. In this window give a name to  the project and solution.



Figure 2: Open VS

Click OK and another window will appear with project template; choose Web API.



Figure 3: Click Another

Click OK and the visual studio will create and load a new ASP.NET application template.

In this app we are going to apply CRUD operation on a single table named Customer. To do first we need to create API Controller for the operations. To add a new Controller file we need to right click and an option menu will appear. After that click Add, then Controller.



Figure 4: Add

Let’s name it CustomerController. In the controller we will create action methods to perform CRUD operations:



Figure 5: Crud

API Controller for CRUD operations
  1. namespace CRUD_APi.Controllers.apiController {  
  2.     [RoutePrefix("api/Customer")]  
  3.     publicclassCustomerController: ApiController {  
  4.         // GET: api/Customer?RowCount=5  
  5.         [HttpGet]

  12.                 return modelCust;  
  13.             } catch {

  36.             try {  
  37.                 CrudDataService objCrd = newCrudDataService();  
  38.                 Int32 message = 0;  
  39.   
  40.                 if ((objCust.CustName != null) && (objCust.CustEmail != null)) message = objCrd.InsertCustomer(objCust);  
  41.                 else message = -1;  
  42.                 return message.ToString();  
  43.             } catch {  
  44.                 throw;  
  45.             }  
  46.         }

  89. }  
Data Service

As we know earlier that we will use ADO.NET and Stored Procedure and to connect the database we need to modify our config file to add Connection String for database connection.
  1. <connectionStrings>  
  2. <addnameaddname="dbConn"connectionString="Data source=DESKTOP-4L9DM2J; Initial Catalog=SampleDB;  User Id=saPassword=sa@123"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>  
  3. </connectionStrings>
Now we need to create another class to use connection string and open our database connection, let’s name it dbConnector.
  1. // Database Connection  
  2. publicclassdbConnector  
  3. {  
  4. privateSqlConnection SqlConn = null;  
  5.   
  6. publicSqlConnection GetConnection  
  7.         {  
  8. get { return SqlConn; }  
  9. set { SqlConn = value; }  
  10.         }  
  11.   
  12. public dbConnector()  
  13.         {  
  14. string ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dbConn"].ConnectionString;  
  15.             SqlConn = newSqlConnection(ConnectionString);  
  16.         }  
  17. }  
To perform CRUD operations we will create a separate class called CrudDataService. In this class we have five methods that will interact with the database to perform CRUD operations.
  1. // Database Service  
  2.   
  3. namespace CRUD_DataService {  
  4.     // Database Service  
  5.     publicclassCrudDataService {  
  6.         publicList < tblCustomer > GetCustomerList(int PageNo, int RowCountPerPage, int IsPaging) {  
  7.             dbConnector objConn = newdbConnector();  
  8.             SqlConnection Conn = objConn.GetConnection;  
  9.             Conn.Open();  
  10.   
  11.             try {  
  12.                 List < tblCustomer > _listCustomer = newList < tblCustomer > ();  
  13.   
  14.                 if (Conn.State != System.Data.ConnectionState.Open) Conn.Open();  
  15.   
  16.                 SqlCommand objCommand = newSqlCommand("READ_CUSTOMER", Conn);  
  17.                 objCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;  
  18.                 objCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@PageNo", PageNo);  
  19.                 objCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RowCountPerPage", RowCountPerPage);  
  20.                 objCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@IsPaging", IsPaging);  
  21.                 SqlDataReader _Reader = objCommand.ExecuteReader();  
  22.   
  23.                 while (_Reader.Read()) {  
  24.                     tblCustomer objCust = newtblCustomer();  
  25.                     objCust.CustID = Convert.ToInt32(_Reader["CustID"]);  
  26.                     objCust.CustName = _Reader["CustName"].ToString();  
  27.                     objCust.CustEmail = _Reader["CustEmail"].ToString();  
  28.                     objCust.CustAddress = _Reader["CustAddress"].ToString();  
  29.                     objCust.CustContact = _Reader["CustContact"].ToString();  
  30.                     _listCustomer.Add(objCust);  
  31.                 }  
  32.   
  33.                 return _listCustomer;  
  34.             } catch {

Publish the Site in IIS



Figure 6: IIS

Let’s assign a port to access, In this case the site base url is: http://localhost:8081/.



Figure 7: Localhost

Let’s Create Windows Form Application

Open Visual Studio 2015, Click File, New, then Project. In this window give a name to the project and solution. This time we will create a Windows Form Application.



Figure 8: VS2015

In our new application let’s create a new Form and name it CRUDForm.cs



Figure 9: Crud Form

Our new form will look like the following screen:



Figure 10: new

In CRUD form we have a data grid which will load all data from the database through API controller.
