so my team and I developed an app in Xamarin Forms cross-platform. Now we have also a database in SSMS 2017. For testing purposes I would like to send like a entry form with this fields:

Username: _____ ID#: _____ phone: ______

From my app I have to send this information to my database base that is already created with also those nodes. My actual app has more entry fields, but for now I'm just testing. I have done some research and the best option is to use a web service but I just don't know where to start from. Please help.

There are thousands of tutorials, walkthroughs and sample apps demonstrating how to create webservices. For example, docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/cross-platform/data-cloud/… – Jason
I've watched more than 30 tutorials today and they look similar to what I want to do but then they use either azure or it's more web app oriented. – Luis Delgado
@LuisDelgado: Did you got any solution or tutorial regarding same? I am also trying from best search but not getting perfect documentation step by step. Other which I am getting are too complicated for me as I am not knowing much about MVVM or MVC. Currently used direct connections and passing direct queries. Many have suggested to use API instead. – Yeshwant Mudholkar

If I were you I would write an API using Microsoft WebAPI 2.

Refer to this information...
