Question

Hi Team I've a service project creted in wcf that have class decorated with ServiceContract and attributes decorated with DataMember attributes. Now I've to convert that project in Web-Api. So Can you please suggest me wheather I've to implement class with ServiceContract and members with DataMember. Is there any requirement of ServiceContract and DataContract in Web-api. Thanks

Service Contract won't do any kind of encryption; It just describes the operation that service provide. Have a look at the below links: http://wcftutorial.net/Service-Contract.aspx http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/81a718/wcf-service-contract-and-operation-contracts/ https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664238/Understanding-Contracts-in-WCF

Hi Punit There is no requirement of ServiceContract and DataContract in Web API. To implement the same in Web API; I thinik you have to reimplement the class in order to make it compatible to Web API.
