Question

I feel like an idiot for asking but I know how to build a client side PUT request I also know how to create the operation contract for it but I dont actually know what to do for the service?

For instance if I was to POST student information I would do this:

    public void AddStudent(Student student)
    {
        students.Add(student);
    }

But for an update or PUT I dont see anything when I type students, there isnt anything that looks like it could be it?

I know that I would first have to find the student of which I want to update, which would be set by the studentID, then I would want a string for whatever I would want to update. Apart from add or remove I dont really know how to achieve “updating”. Has anyone got any example code?

Answer 1

You can pass the student as a parameter

public void UpdateStudent(Student student)
{
   var findStudent = students.Where(s => s.studentID == student.studentID).FirstOrDefault();

   if(findStudent != null)
   {
        ///update findStudent values with student values --- like
        findStudent.Name = student.Name;  

   }

}
