C# call actions through webapi with parameters

Posted on by sdnd2000 2,510

Hi, I got some trouble with passing parameters through the web api to invoke the custom action. I am following this article (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt742426.aspx) but still confused.  Basically, I need pass 3 parameters, where should I call the action in the uri ?

        public async Task TestActionAsync()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("--Action Test Starts Here--");
            Money amount = new Money() { Value = 300 };
            JObject exeAction = JObject.Parse(@"{ApplicationRef: '8B446743-C6C4-E711-A81C-005056B5FEFA','Amount:"+amount+"',Authcode:'0001'}");
            string actionUri =(how to define the URI)

            response = await SendAsJsonAsync(httpClient, HttpMethod.Post, actionUri, exeAction);




        }

    Hi,

               JObject exeAction = new JObject();

               exeAction["ApplicationRef"] = "8B446743-C6C4-E711-A81C-005056B5FEFA";

               exeAction["Amount"] = new Money() { Value = 300 };

               exeAction["Authcode"] = "0001";

               string actionUri = "ACTION_NAME";

               response = await SendAsJsonAsync(httpClient, HttpMethod.Post, actionUri, exeAction);

    Hi, Nuno,

    the actionUri should be the url+action name, right? I tried in this way, but I got the error message that " resource not found for the segament"

            public async Task TestActionAsync()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("--Action Test Starts Here--");
            JObject exeAction = new JObject();
            exeAction["ApplicationRef"] = "8B446743-C6C4-E711-A81C-005056B5FEFA";
            exeAction["Amount"] = new Money(){ Value = 300 }.Value;
            exeAction["Authcode"] = "0001";
            string actionUri = "dev-hq.dev.com/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.recoserv_ACT101_Payment_MarkAsPaid";
            HttpResponseMessage response = await SendAsJsonAsync(httpClient, HttpMethod.Post, actionUri, exeAction);
            
            if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Successful");
                
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("fail to call the action");
                throw new CrmHttpResponseException(response.Content);
            }
        }

    If the action is global then

    string actionUri = "recoserv_ACT101_Payment_MarkAsPaid";

    If the action is bound to an entity then

    string actionUri = "dev-hq.dev.com/.../" + entitylogicalname + "(" + guid_entity_record + ")" + "/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.recoserv_ACT101_Payment_MarkAsPaid"

    for example, if the action is bound to account entity and there is an account record with next guid, the uri would be

    string actionUri = "dev-hq.dev.com/.../Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.recoserv_ACT101_Payment_MarkAsPaid"

            exeAction["ApplicationRef"] = "8B446743-C6C4-E711-A81C-005056B5FEFA";
            exeAction["Amount"] = new Money(){ Value = 300 }.Value;

            HttpResponseMessage response = await SendAsJsonAsync(httpClient, HttpMethod.Post, actionUri, exeAction);         
            if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)

                throw new CrmHttpResponseException(response.Content);
            }
        }

        private async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsJsonAsync<T>(HttpClient client,
            HttpMethod method, string requestUri, T value)
        {
            string content;
            if (value.GetType().Name.Equals("JObject"))
            { content = value.ToString(); }
            else
            {
                content = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value, new JsonSerializerSettings()
                { DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Ignore });
            }
            HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(method, requestUri);
            request.Content = new StringContent(content);
            request.Content.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/json");
            return await client.SendAsync(request);
        }
