Web API and MVC Deleting data using MVC controller

Question

Hi,

 

I have been making a project which involves a Web API and MVC, I have been able to connect my MVC project to my API allowing me to display data onto one of my views using a table.

I am struggling to create a delete function on my MVC project, I have made it pull a set of data from the table to a different view using the ID (i have created the view using the template you are given)

The code below is what i did in order to get that data 

 

[HttpGet]

public ActionResult Delete(int id)

{

StudentModel Student = new StudentModel();

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:6193/");

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(

new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("api/students/" + id).Result;

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)

{

Student = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<StudentModel>().Result;

}

return View(Student);

}

 

 

 Now i am trying to use the [HttpPost] to remove the data from my database i would be really grateful if anyone is able to help me out and keep it pretty simple so i am able to understand it. 

 

Thanks
