I'm new to wcf in c# and I can't seem to find a solution to what I feel is quite a simple problem. All I want to do is write to the response body of a response in a request handler I've made. If there is a way to make a response and send it that could also work. Here is the code...
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "users", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
[OperationContract]
void addUser(String username, String firstname, String lastname, String email, String hash)
{
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now + " Packet receieved");
//Stores the response object that will be sent back to the android client
OutgoingWebResponseContext response = WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse;
String description = "User added";
response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK;
//Tries to add the new user
try
{
userTable.Insert(username,firstname,lastname,email,hash);
}
catch (SqlException e)
{
//Default response is a conflict
response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Conflict;
description = "Bad Request (" + e.Message + ")";
//Check what the conflict is
if (userTable.GetData().AsEnumerable().Any(row => username == row.Field<String>("username")))
{
description = "Username in use";
}
else if (userTable.GetData().AsEnumerable().Any(row => email == row.Field<String>("email")))
{
description = "Email address in use";
}
else
{
response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.BadRequest;
}
}
//dsiplay and respond with the description
Console.WriteLine(description);
response.StatusDescription = description;
}
The current code sets the response status code and description but I really need to be able to write to the response body or be able to make a response that has a body and gets sent back to my client. Thanks in advance.
