He talks about using a catch-all function and then somehow running the HttpRequestMessage through Asp.Net Core
How can I do this? With functions 2, using core, I can do things like add a Razor Page to my functions app. But if I try to return the View it throws an internal server error.
How can I call a Controller myself, and then get an IActionResult value back?

Application contains one office-js addin (typescript) + one Webapi core (c#) in a container, both components communicating with a fetch function thanks to cors.
It works properly on my local computer.
I published both components on azure, the webapi component being derived as a container instance. I checked that the correct azure addin address was entered in the webapi startup module.
Now, each individual component works properly (proof with messages from the addin and with postman for the webapi) but fetch function raises errors (message = "failed to fetch).
Could someone tell me what I did miss ?
Thanks in advance.
Closed. Finally it was about :
debugging in localhost is not enough. You have to test with Swagger. In my case I had a wrong return with a String[] and the decoration of the controller was not ok
having a plain Web api application (ie : with a wwwroot)
I created a simple Blazor WASM webapp using C# .NET5. It connects to some Functions which in turn get some data from a SQL Server database.
I followed the tutorial of BlazorTrain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QctDo9MWps
Locally using Azurite to emulate the Azure stuff it all works fine.
But after deployment using GitHub Action the webapp starts but then it needs to get some data using the Functions and that fails. Running the Function in Postman results in a 503: Function host is not running.
I'm not sure what I need to configure more. I can't find the logging from Functions. I use the injected ILog, but can find the log messages in Azure Portal.
In Azure portal I see my 3 GET functions, but no option to test or see the logging.
With the help of #Aravid I found my problem.
Because I locally needed to tell my client the URL of the API I added a configuration in Client\wwwroot\appsettings.Development.json.
Of course this file doesn't get deployed.
After changing my code in Program.cs to:
var apiAddress = builder.Configuration["ApiAddress"] ?? $"{builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress}/api/";
builder.Services.AddHttpClient("Api",(options) => {
options.BaseAddress = new Uri(apiAddress);
});
My client works again.
I also added my SqlServer connection string in the Application Settings of my Static Web App and the functions are working as well.
I hope somebody else will benefit from this. Took me several hours to figure it out ;)
I have a WebApp on Azure that uses a dll. This library needs Interop libraries x86 and x64.
Sometimes, at the restart of the App (I suppose), the App fails due to an exception:
System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'sqlite3_config' in DLL 'SQLite.Interop.dll'. at System.Data.SQLite.UnsafeNativeMethods.sqlite3_config_none(SQLiteConfigOpsEnum op) at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.StaticIsInitialized() at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteLog.Initialize() at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection..ctor(String connectionString, Boolean parseViaFramework) at T_Dox.WebService.SQLiteDb.CreateConnection() at WebService.CeDb.Connect()
The SQLite used is the SQLCipher's one.
What am I missing here? I don't understand why the app stops working suddenly even if I don't make any changes.
The App is a Web Service (.asmx file) that uses a data access layer to perform some business logic.
It was under a web site project, then we moved it into another project, a webapi\mvc project.
The routing bypasses this extension, so it works as before, a simple web service call.
The called web method initializes a business class loaded from another .net library (a VB.Net library).
Inside, this class uses a wrapper to a sqlConnection, in this case the SQLiteConnection.
In its constructor it starts an SQLiteConnection, and normally it works.
Then it performs some CRUD operations ...
So I can represent the operation this way:
[WebService(Namespace = "...")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class SampleService : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public ServerInfo Test()
{
var sampleBusinessClass = new SampleBusinessCLass();
sampleBusinessClass.DoSomething();
using(var connection = new SQLiteConnection()) //the constructor is the parameterless one
{
//...
}
}
}
And the stack will be this (this is not the real one):
System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'sqlite3_config' in DLL 'SQLite.Interop.dll'.
at System.Data.SQLite.UnsafeNativeMethods.sqlite3_config_none(SQLiteConfigOpsEnum op)
at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.StaticIsInitialized()
at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteLog.Initialize()
at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection..ctor(String connectionString, Boolean parseViaFramework)
at xxx.WebService.SampleService.Test()
It always works, but sometimes it starts to launch this error until the stop and start of the web application on iss (in our case: Azure).
Inspecting the System.Data.SQlite.dll I can clearly see the entry point and actually it always passes this internal code (no conditions that can bypass this part) and it generally works.
The System.Data.SQlite.dll (1.0.96.0 version) is provided by SqlCypher product. I think it is the original System.Data.SQLite one because at first sight I can see the same assembly manifest and content.
The interop System.Data.SQLite uses is probably modified by SqlCypher team to give their features.
To avoid possible issues we put the interop in the path /bin/x64, then we compile our web app ONLY in x64 and it runs on a x64 environment.
I created a new Web API project and created the following routing spec (actually I have simplified, looking for the bug):
// Web API configuration and services
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}"
);
When I make a call via ajax with the route:
/api/account/GetSUID/0
everything works fine. When I just use a different controller:
/api/tile/GetTileSet/0
it returns a status of 200 but instead of hitting my controller, it just returns the contents of the default page in jqXHR.responseText! It is as if it is just skipping any API routing like I am requesting the default site page.
I am baffled by this one as I have written literally hundreds of web API functions over the past few years in several other projects. I have never had any issue making calls to multiple controllers. I have looked high and low for what could be happening here and am hoping that someone here might have an idea.
Here is a sample method on the controller:
[HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage CheckRequestedID(int id, [FromUri]string Search)
{
if (!BSDIUtil.HasAllAcceptableCharacters(Search))
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
if (FolderModel.IDAlreadyExists(DAL, Search)) // We can check this because this function is only called when staff members are creating accounts for other people (participants always use their email).
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, false);
else
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, true);
}
This will work if on the account controller but not on the tile controller.
One other thing, I am using the "Community" edition of Visual Studio and Windows 8.1
This is not a problem that is likely to occur often but I have solved it and figured I would post it here in case anyone else has the same issue.
I am using web api in the context of a standard web forms app (although I am only using webforms for my reporting pages). In the web.config for a web forms app, you can declare the paths that the user has access to before authenticating. I was only providing access to the account controller: all others were not permitted due to my authentication mechanism. Once I authenticate (e.g. the forms authentication call) or if I change the location path to include only "api", the problem goes away.
I was facing same problem but in different context. Had many controllers and respective routing templates. Only one controller was responding to requests.
Later i realized my other controller classes were not public!!
I have an ASP.NET MVC 4 site running perfectly well in an Azure WebRole. The ASP.NET MVC project was started on its own, after which I added an Azure Cloud Service project to the solution and added the ASP.NET project/site as one of the 'roles' of the service (so it shows up in the 'Roles' folder).
My problem is that I would like to have working a WebRole.cs file within the ASP.NET MVC project, but no matter what I've tried to do, it appears that when deployed, it just never gets called. OnStart and the override of Run (which I know, must never leave the loop) -- these just apparently never get called.
But if you startup a new CloudService project and add, at that time from the start, an ASP.NET MVC project, it automatically has a WebRole.cs file in it, so my guess is that I need to configure something somewhere for the WebRole.cs (actually speaking, the WebRole class, which inherits RoleEntryPoint) to get called. What might that be?
using System;
using System.Web;
//using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;
namespace Us.WebUI
{
public class WebRole : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEntryPoint
{
public override bool OnStart()
{
return true; //return base.OnStart(); // CALL THIS???
}
public override void Run()
{
while (true) {
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
try {
EmailFuncs.SendEmailToUs("An email from our WebRole?????", "Email me this, email me that.");
}
catch { }
}
}
}
}
UPDATE: Thanks, the question has been answered. But I will add: On doing this, while it clearly was working (fully deployed and in emulator), that suddenly I was having problems doing a full publish of the site. After a azure publish took 3 hours:
Verifying storage account 'xyz'... > Uploading Package... > - Updating... [stayed here for 3 hours], it failed with this error: The server encountered an internal error. Please retry the request. So one thing I was wondering is, did I need to override OnStop in WebRole.cs?
UPDATE 2: Those previous problems were fixed, and had nothing to do with this issue. Actually, I've learned this: If you ever have any warnings generated in your build, Azure often will not work with them even when they don't cause problems locally or in other hosts. Since then, I've been much more studious to tackling build warnings (but critical to this is turning off with warning codes the many warning types you want to ignore!).
Adding a class to your Web Project which inherits from RoleEntryPoint is sufficient, it should just work. Did you try setting a breakpoint in the emulator?
What you might be experiencing is that EmailFuncs.SendEmailToUs requires info from the app/web.config and that this info is not available. You need to know that your WebRole class runs in a different process (not your web application), meaning it's not using your web.config. If you want the WebRole.cs to read info from the configuration file, you'll need to add these settings in WaIISHost.exe.config
