REST from asp.net 2.0
- by weslleywang
Hi,
I just built a asp.net 2.0 web site. Now I need add REST web service so I can communicate with another web application. I've worked with 2 SOAP web service project before, but have no experise with REST at all. I guess only a coupleweeks would works fine. after googling, I found it's not that easy.
This is what I found:
There is NO REST out of box of asp.net.
WCF REST Starter Kit Codeplex Preview 2 base on .net 3.5 and still in beta
Rest ASP.NET Example
REST Web Services in ASP.NET 2.0 (C#)
Exyus
Handling POST and PUT methods with Lullaby
ADO.NET Data Service
...
Now my question,
a) Is a REST solution for .net 2.0? if yes, which one is best solution?
b) if I have to, how hard to migrate my asp.net from 2.0 to 3.5? is it as simple as just compile, or I have to change a lot code?
c) WCF REST Starter Kit is good enough to use in production?
d) Do I have to learn WCF first, then WCF REST Starter Kit? where is the best place to start?
I appreciate any help here.
Thanks
Wes
