Creating Rest Web Service with an existing asp.net mvc 5 app

Question

I have an existing asp.net mvc5 web application that uses the standard UserManager classes to perform authentication using the Entity Framework, so i need now to create a RESTful web service to do authentication and to store and update user details.

I'd like also to continue using the ASP.NET identity AspNetRoles table to manage the roles for user once he/she logged in.

Any idea please or do you have any links that can help me cause i'm new in the web service thing.

Answer 1

Hi, Thanks for reply. Actually I am trying to develop an application with central database ( Ms SQL). And users connect to this database. Whenever user connects to the central database for first time I application needs to copy all the tables needed by this particular user on his local machine database. So that he can access his local copy when he is offline. And some periodical synchronization to be carried out to keep all copies consistent. I need ur help to know what to use for this kind of application may be ADO.net or SQLDMO or SQL Server CE 2.0. What will be the good one to start with. Thanks, mohan

Answer 3

1. Use Microsoft tool named DTS (Start->Programs->Microsoft SQL Server->Import and Export Data), not c# 2. If You must use C# (see help): - use ExecuteNonQuery() method to create new table in database2 - read data from database1 into datatable1 of dataset (rows status will be unchanged) - create datatable2 and import rows from datatable1 into it to get row status=inserted (may be someone know about better trick ???) - update table created in database2 with data from datatable2
