How do I pass enum parameter values to a RESTful service

Question

I have a service in the form :

[HttpGet]
public string GetProductCode(Products product, SubProducts subProduct)

Where the 2 values being passed are an enum value. How should I consume this and how do I get the returned value?

Answer 1

You can add the following in your WebApiConfig file:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
  name: "ProductCodeRoute",
  routeTemplate: "api/YourControllerName/{product}/{subProduct}"
);

So that clients can call the service at: //Url/YourControllerName/1/2 to get the product code.
