Good Day everyone. I'm having trouble on how am I going to show all the records I have created in my ASP.NET WEB API to Xamarin.Forms Application. I tried creating pre-defined list of Employee's Name and Department and it worked. But what I want to do is Create a Record in ASP.NET Web Application and make it appear to my mobile application. Any help will be highly appreciated. Here's my code. I'm just a newbie so please forgive me if my question isn't seem to be informative. Thanks in advance. I watch a video tutorial regarding this matter._ Refer to this link if needed. _ Image may be NSFW.
