To create a very simple ASP.NET Web API service as an example, please see this previous post: https://www.technical-recipes.com/2018/getting-started-with-creating-asp-net-web-api-services/ This will show you how to create a basic Web API service, with example controller, example registration, no authentication etc: Open IIS Manager: Right-click on Sites and select Add web site: You are presented with the Add Web Site dialog: Fill in the details: give the web site a name. Navigate to your Visual Studio web api service program to set the physical path. Also choose a port number: Click OK. A new web site is created in IIS Manager: Try browsing the site: You may get an error similar to the following, saying that the site cannot be reached: If this is the case, inspect the Application Pools in IIS, specifically the version of .NET the site is using: The Web Api service needs .NET version 4 or above, so change this by clicking on Basic Settings: Like so: Re-start the web service in IIS and try browsing the site again notice that we see the available web service in the browser now: We can also try and run one of the GET commands again, as define in the Values controller: [code language="xml"] http://localhost:64951/api/values [/code] So that we get the values returned by the service as shown:

Getting started with client-server applications in C++

A demonstration of simple Internet client-server applications in C++ (Linux-based). The client application tries to connect to the remote server application using the IP address of the remote server ('localhost' or 127.0.0.1) and the server port number which defaulted to 1234.

I put the code within a try-catch block in order to capture any errors that may occur while attempting this. [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; namespace EmailSmtp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { // Credentials var credentials = new NetworkCredential("someEmail@gmail.com", "somePassword"); // Mail message var ...
