asp.net-web-api2

I'm fairly new at using dependency injection and I think I must be overlooking something really simple. I have a Web API project where I'm registering generic repositories. The repositories take a dbContext as a parameter in their constructor. The behavior I find strange is that I can make one successfull call to the service but any subsequent calls tell me that the dbcontext has been disposed. I do have a using statement in there but that shouldn't be a problem since DI is supposed to be creating new instances of my dependencies for each web request(although I could be wrong). Here is my

The code is like: [HttpPost] public ResultEntityVM Register([FromBody,Required] RegisterParam createAssessorParam) { if (ModelState.IsValid == false) { return null; } //other code ResultEntityVM vm = new ResultEntityVM(); return vm; } When the parameter createAssessorParam is null , the value of ModelState.IsValid is true . Why? If I want to auto judge the parameter is null or not, what can I do? Don't I can only write the code: if(RegisterParam != null) { //other } I've run into the same problem and solved it by implementing a custom action filter attribute evaluating all the validation

This is not an issue but concept I just want to make it clear. When working with asp.net web api we use Newtonsoft.Json's SerializerSettings . In this setting we can set jsonSetting.Converters.Add(new IsoDateTimeConverter()); jsonSetting.DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat; I understood what IsoDateTimeConverter is doing but but not clear about DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat . It seems to be there is no effect of DateFormatHandling.MicrosoftDateFormat if you still using IsoDateTimeConverter . Still excepting some explanation who know about this. dbc You actually have

I have an asp.net Web API server running under IIS, that until now has used windows authentication as it has only had other services running on the same domain conencting to it. So, in my web.config I have the following settings... <system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5.1" /> <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.1" /> <authentication mode="Windows" /> </system.web> <system.webServer> <security> <authentication> <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" /> </authentication> </security> .... With this I can use a browser (or the services) on the same domain and reach my services.

I have an MVC WebAPI 2 project with a Controllers controller. The Method I'm trying to call is POST (Create). I need to access the referring URL that called that method yet, no matter what object I access, the referring URL either doesn't exist in the object or is null. For example, I've added the HTTPContext reference and the following returns null : var thingythingthing = HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer; The Request object does not have a UrlReferrer property. This returns null as well: HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"] I cannot modify the headers because I

I followed the tutorial but it's seems not working properly with JWT, but it was ok for basic authentication. I downloaded and installed JwtAuthForWebAPI. I also generated JWT token and trying to do a API call but error is HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized . Do I have to implement/modify anything to transfer claims from JWT to Thread.CurrentPrincipal & HttpContext.CurrentPrincipal? My code is quite simple: global.asax.cs: GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MessageHandlers.Add( new JwtAuthenticationMessageHandler { AllowedAudience = reader.AllowedAudience, Issuer = reader.Issuer, SigningToken = builder

I'm trying to access /elmah.axd in my broswer, but it returns: {"message":"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://services.domain.com/elmah.axd'."} The server is local (127.0.0.1) and even on that I have my web.config Elmah settings to secure it this way: <elmah> <security allowRemoteAccess="true" /> </elmah> My WebApiConfig looks like: public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config) { // Web API configuration and services // Locally only you will be able to see the exception errors config.IncludeErrorDetailPolicy = IncludeErrorDetailPolicy.LocalOnly; // Web API

I'm in process of trying to learn JWT and ouath. I have came across form of JWT which would help me in development of my authorization server. The format I came across is following : { iat: 1416929061, jti: "802057ff9b5b4eb7fbb8856b6eb2cc5b", scopes: { users: { actions: ['read', 'create'] }, users_app_metadata: { actions: ['read', 'create'] } } } However since in adding claims we can only add simple string how something like this can be achieved ? The only way I have seen till now was to use JSON.serialization - coming from https://stackoverflow.com/a/27279400/2476347 new Claim(someClass
