Communication Between Asp.net MVC and window Store app - asp.net-mvc

Question

Please let me know the procedure for communication between window store app and MVC such that data can be passed from MVC to Store app and vice versa.

Answer 1

Did you mean call to a web API?
You can use System.Net.Http.HttpClient to send http requests & receive responses.
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:9000/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
// New code:
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("api/products/1");
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
Product product = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync>Product>();
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t${1}\t{2}", product.Name, product.Price, product.Category);
}
}
A detailed guide available Here. It shows how you can use WebApi with Windows store app.

Answer 2

The recommended way to connect to a web service is to use the Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient (which supersedes System.Net.Http.HttpClient). This can be used to send any normal HTTP request (PUT, POST, GET, etc.)
using Windows.Web.Http;
using (HttpClient hc = new HttpClient())
{
Uri uri = new Uri("https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions/27796508?order=desc&sort=activity&site=stackoverflow");
try
{
string json = await hc.GetStringAsync(uri);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Handle network exceptions
}
}
See How to connect to an HTTP server using Windows.Web.Http on MSDN and the HttpClient sample for more details.
