Im trying to get an image from a wcf rest service like so:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IReceiveData
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate = "picture/")]
//this line is wrong though
Stream GetImage(int width, int height);
}
public class RawDataService : IReceiveData
{
public Stream GetImage(int width, int height)
{
// Although this method returns a jpeg, it can be
// modified to return any data you want within the stream
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height);
for (int i = 0; i < bitmap.Width; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < bitmap.Height; j++)
{
bitmap.SetPixel(i, j, (Math.Abs(i - j) < 2) ? Color.Blue : Color.Yellow);
}
}
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
bitmap.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
ms.Position = 0;
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
return ms;
}
}
In my host application:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string baseAddress = "http://" + Environment.MachineName + ":8000/Service";
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(RawDataService), new Uri(baseAddress));
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IReceiveData), new WebHttpBinding(), "").Behaviors.Add(new WebHttpBehavior());
host.Open(); // this line
Console.WriteLine("Host opened");
Console.ReadLine();
I get this error:
Operation 'GetImage' in contract 'IReceiveData' uses GET, but also has body parameter 'width'. GET operations cannot have a body. Either make the parameter 'width' a UriTemplate parameter, or switch from WebGetAttribute to WebInvokeAttribute.
Im not sure how you set the webinvoke/UriTemplate method for an image or how you get an image and return it. Can some one post the correct way to display an image in this example.
EDIT
If I try the below answer and use UriTemplate = "picture?w={width}&h={height}"
as my UriTemplate when navigating to http://www.localhost.com:8000/Service/picture?width=50&height=40
I recieve an error in my code:
public Stream GetImage(int width, int height)
{
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height); // this line
for (int i = 0; i < bitmap.Width; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < bitmap.Height; j++)
{
bitmap.SetPixel(i, j, (Math.Abs(i - j) < 2) ? Color.Blue : Color.Yellow);
}
}
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
bitmap.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
ms.Position = 0;
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
return ms;
}
Which states ArguementException was unhandled by user code:
Parameter is not valid.
