Creating Database connection API for mobile apps

10y764.NET

I have a running database for web application built using C# and mvc 4, and we want to develop mobile apps. Now I have to create a secure api/web service that connects my mobile apps with my existing database and transfer data between them without need of creating a new database.

Even if i create a web service (completely no knowledge of implementation), How will I be able to get request from mobile and send the response back with result or error message?

I am totally new in this concept and require a guidance in the right direction about how to implement same and what necessary things should I consider for this. Please suggest some good links that deals with Implementation for C# MVC.

Thanks

Thanks singh:)
The major point for me is, how do I go about developing API for same. I do have controller and models along with sessions and data transferred in terms of medium like ViewBag, TempData and Session variables.
Is it possible to send data same through web API?
If yes, then which option is best? I am planning to start using .NET Web API for the same.
Thanks in advance

It is easy to call web api. first you can host your web api, after you can use their url in your mobile apps.

If you have already host your web api, then check on http://wsdlbrowser.com/
