Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

C#

public IEnumerable<Word> GetWords()
{
    return db.Words.ToList();
}

I need this output in XML using webapi2;

What I have tried:

i already google and try

C#

var appXmlType = config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(t => t.MediaType == "text/xml");
config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Remove(appXmlType);

It gives data only in JSON.

also I update following package:
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Xml

But how can I get it in XML.
Thanks in advance.

You can use

C#

Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter

C#

public IHttpActionResult Get()
{
 //Your code to get the result object
  return Content(HttpStatusCode.OK, results, Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
}

public IHttpActionResult GetWords()
{
//Your code to get the result object
IEnumerable<<word>> word = db.Words.ToList();
return Content(HttpStatusCode.OK, word, Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
}
still not working for Xml but it works for JSON.

Strange!! This is working fine for me..
This is my code.

[Route("api/Products/GetPackCountsTest")]
[HttpGet]
public IHttpActionResult GetPackCountsTest()
{
var products = _productRepository.GetPackCounts();
return Content(HttpStatusCode.OK, products, Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
}

Can you try with this.

public HttpResponseMessage Get()
{
var results = _productRepository.GetPackCounts();
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, results, new XmlMediaTypeFormatter());
}

public HttpResponseMessage GetWords()
{
var results = db.Words.ToList();
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, results, new XmlMediaTypeFormatter());
}

still problem.
Please check with google chrome.
should i start any service or register anything in WebApiConfig.cs?

also I update following package:
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Xml

Error :
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<error>
<message>The request is invalid.

if I try
[Route("api/WordsApi/GetWords")]
public IHttpActionResult GetWords()
{
var results = db.Words.ToList();
return Content(HttpStatusCode.OK, results, Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
}

Error:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<error>
<message>An error has occurred.
