ASP.NET Web API (49)

I was at Microsoft Turkey office yesterday and I gave a presentation on ASP.NET Web API and SignalR in context of this year’s MSP Kickoff. This post covers where you can reach out to presentation slides, recording and several relevant links.

As of today, I am starting a new blog post series about ASP.NET vNext. To kick things off, I would like to lay out the resources about ASP.NET vNext here which is probably going to be an ultimate guide on ASP.NET vNext.

In context of Microsoft Turkey Summer School 2014, I had a chance to give a talk on ASP.NET Web API and ASP.NET SignalR a few days ago at Microsoft Turkey Office. Here is the slides, recording video and references from the talk.

Downloading large files with HttpClient and you see that it takes lots of memory space? This post is probably for you. Let's see how to efficiently streaming large HTTP responses with HttpClient.

Couple of weeks ago, one of my former coworkers ran across a very weird problem when he was prototyping on some of his ideas with ASP.NET Web API: No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI. Let's see what this issue was all about and what is the solution.

In my previous post, I emphasized a few important facts on my journey of building an OAuth authorization server. As great people say: "Talk is cheap. Show me the code." It is exactly what I'm trying to do in this blog post. Also, this post is the first one in the "Simple OAuth Server" series.

Securing our HTTP API endpoints are one of the biggest challenges we face when writing so-called modern applications and this is where the OAuth 2.0 enters. In this post, I will highlight the things that I have found vital for the last couple of months when I have been working on an OAuth 2.0 Server implementation in .NET Framework.

When we have uncorrelated multiple I/O operations that need to be kicked off, we have quite a few ways to fire them off and which way you choose makes a great amount of difference on a .NET server side application. In this post, we will see how we can handle the different approaches in ASP.NET Web API.

A while back, ASP.NET team has introduced ASP.NET Identity, a membership system for ASP.NET applications. Today, I'm introducing you its RavenDB implementation: AspNet.Identity.RavenDB.

I listed some resources on asynchronous programming for .NET server applications with C# which consist of blog posts, presentations and podcasts.

We wanted to give you an early glimpse on the Pro ASP.NET Web API's sample application(PingYourPackage) and its source code is now up on GitHub.

Why am I not using NancyFx instead of ASP.NET MVC / Web API? Because of a very important and vital missing part with NancyFx: asynchrony!

Advanced ASP.NET Web API Webcast Offline Recording (In Turkish) is Available

The slide and the full source code of the Advanced ASP.NET Web API webcast (Turkish) is available.

We will see how to smoothly work with IIS Express Self-signed Certificate, ASP.NET Web API and HttpClient by placing the self-signed certificate in the Trusted Root CA store.

One of the common misconceptions about ASP.NET Web API is that it is being built on top of ASP.NET MVC. Today, I am going to break it!

Two days ago, I blogged about the availability of the Pro ASP.NET Web API Book through Apress Alpha Program. Today, the Pro ASP.NET Web API book is now available on Amazon for pre-order

I am proud to announce that the Pro ASP.NET Web API book is available through Apress Alpha Program and you can get access to the early bits and completed chapters now.

In this post, we will see how ComplexTypeAwareActionSelector behaves under the covers to involve complex type action parameters during the action selection process.

We will see how to make complex type action parameters play nice with controller action selection in ASP.NET Web API by using ComplexTypeAwareActionSelector from WebAPIDoodle NuGet package.

How to use complex type action parameters in ASP.NET Web API and involve them inside the controller action selection logic

Writing asynchronous .NET Client libraries for your HTTP API and using asynchronous language features (aka async/await) and some deadlock issue you might face.

How to most efficiently deal with asynchrony inside ASP.NET Web API HTTP Message Handlers with TaskHelpers NuGet package or C# 5.0 asynchronous language features

Gleen Block explains why we need ASP.NET Web API when we already have ASP.NET MVC and what can we achieve with ASP.NET Web API

ASP.NET Web API has a concept of Catch-All routes but the frameowk doesn't automatically bind catch-all route values to a string array. Let's customize it with a custom HttpParameterBinding.

Couple of days ago, @AlexZeitler has launched WebAPIBloggers web site which aggregates the blog posts of several bloggers who write about ASP.NET Web API.

Let's see how we can end up with a deadlock using the C# 5.0 asynchronous language features (AKA async/await) in our ASP.NET applications and how to prevent these kinds of scenarios.

In this post, we will see how to create a custom CSVMediaTypeFormatter in ASP.NET Web API for comma-separated values (CSV) format

I'm trying to show you what new C# 5.0 can bring us in terms of asynchronous programming with await keyword. Especially on ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications.

I would like to point you those resources (Tutorials, Videos, Samples) in order to get started with ASP.NET Web API.
