I have very limited exprerience in MVC, WebAPI,C# etc. I was asked to create a controller that contains a method that receives an HttpRequest (XML) and responds with back with an HttpResponse

I have come up to this state and I am confused:

 [HttpPost]
    [Consumes("application/xml")]
    public async HttpResponseMessage ChannelUpload(HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(
        request.Body,
        encoding: Encoding.UTF8,
        detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks: false)
        )
        {
            string bodyString = await reader.ReadToEndAsync();

            string confirmation = ImportRequest(bodyString);

            //Response
            return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK) { Content = new StringContent(confirmation) };
        }
    }

  • I do not know whether the parameter of the method is the correct (is HttpRequest valid?).

  • I do not know how to respond (CreateResponse() is not found)

Thank you in advance!

    This is essentially the very basics of how MVC works, you will get far more benefit by running through some tutorials than asking a question like this here. – DavidG Jan 05 '21 at 11:41
  • Thanx. I am trying to locate a tutorial in Google "c# receive HttpRequest" etc but I found nothing that seems near my need. As I said, I have very limited knowledge of C#. I am an SQL,Powerbuilder developer. If you have any link handy, I would be grateful – PanosPlat Jan 05 '21 at 11:45
