namespace LearnASPNETCore3WebAPIWithRealApps.Models
{
public class DataContext : DbContext
{
public DataContext(DbContextOptions<DataContext> options)
: base(options)
{
}
public DbSet<Product> Product { get; set; }
}
}

{
public IConfiguration configuration { get; }
public Startup(IConfiguration _configuration)
{
configuration = _configuration;
}
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddControllers();
var connectionString = configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");
services.AddDbContext<DataContext>(options => options.UseLazyLoadingProxies().UseSqlServer(connectionString));
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseRouting();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>

{
try
{
db.Product.Add(product);
db.SaveChanges();
return Ok(product);
}
catch
{
return BadRequest();
}
}
}
}
Structure of ASP.NET Core 3 Web API Project
Consume Web API from Console Application
Create Console App (.NET Framework) Project in Visual Studio.
Entity Class
Create Models folder in Console Application. In this folder, create new class named Product.cs as below:
Product Entity
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace LearnASPNETCore3WebAPIWithRealApps_Client.Models
{
public class Product

public string Name { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
public bool Status { get; set; }
}
}
Create ProductRestClientModel
ProductRestClientModel class contain methods call Web API. Add reference to System.Net.Http.Formatting library from Nuget Packages
using LearnASPNETCore3WebAPIWithRealApps_Client.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace LearnASPNETCore3WebAPIWithRealApps_Client
{
public class ProductRestClientModel
{
private string BASE_URL = "http://localhost:18942/api/product/";
public Task<HttpResponseMessage> Create(Product product)
{
try
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(BASE_URL);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
return client.PostAsJsonAsync("create", product);
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
}
}
Run Console Application
using LearnASPNETCore3WebAPIWithRealApps_Client.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace LearnASPNETCore3WebAPIWithRealApps_Client
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var productRestClientModel = new ProductRestClientModel();
var product = new Product()
{
Name = "name 5",
Price = 12,
Quantity = 3,
Status = true
};
var httpResponseMessage = productRestClientModel.Create(product).Result;
var productInfo = httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsAsync<Product>().Result;
var httpStatusCode = httpResponseMessage.StatusCode;
Console.WriteLine("Status Code: " + httpStatusCode);
bool isSuccessStatusCode = httpResponseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode;
Console.WriteLine("IsSuccessStatusCode: " + isSuccessStatusCode);
Console.WriteLine("New Product Information");
Console.WriteLine("Id: " + productInfo.Id);
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + productInfo.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Price: " + productInfo.Price);

Console.WriteLine("Status: " + productInfo.Status);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
