Mr.Venkat, i must say you are simply genius. I watched so many tutorials related to asp.net web api and also created 4-5 web api till now but i never seen any videos which show this much simplicity as well as understanding. I assume that in your upcoming videos you will also include token base security as well. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Venkat. The tutorial on API is really great.
Need to use password for the type in Employee.html for the txtPassword.
Also in headers: {
'Authorization':'Basic '+btoa(username+':'+password)
}
Once blank space after Basic should come.Otherwise it gives error

Hands down one of the best, easy to listen to and informative channel for coding, development and .NET. Thank you for all you contributions - you have a huge impact on guys like me who want to learn both bergginer and advanced concepts and don't know where to start.

I have one tech question: If you were making an application where a small part would be WPF/UWP/MVVM or some native Windows technology, and the other part would be on a web platform (ASP/MVC), what is the best way to proceed in order to ensure as much code re-use between the two portions of your app? I know Entity Framework can maybe used to share logic for the data access portion, but is there a way to reduce dev workload instead of having to write two separate applications?

Kudvenkat Rocks!


In case some else faces issue after writing this code: Just missed a space in my code after 'basic' on ajax web service call and that did not work as in Authorization value was going to scheme and parameter was Nuill.

[pariharpravin]

Sir I really appreciate your work..You are doing a great job. Sir can u please upload few tuitorial on thread, asynchronous delegate and Tpl....

[mindeng]

IMPORTANT Reminder (Venkat did not mention on the video)
In the Ajax call, the Authorization header. DO NOT FORGET the single SPACE within 'BASIC_'
It taken long time to find it.

sir what I am today because of your tutorials, I became very happy when I saw your Web api video.
But sir, I need token based authentication in Web api with angular js. I tried some other videos, but I could not understand, perhaps it is because I have been habitual of your videos.
