sql serversql-clr

I'm try to create clr function in c# with this code:

[SqlFunction]
        public static string Decrypt(string Input)
        {
            var test = "";
            var url = "http://www.url/feed/";
            using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(url))
            {
                SyndicationFeed feed = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader);
                //MessageBox.Show("Title:" + feed.Title.Text);
                //MessageBox.Show("Uri:" + feed.Links[0].Uri);
                foreach (SyndicationItem item in feed.Items)
                {
                    test=item.Title.Text;
                }
            }
            return test;
        }

when try add that to sql server assembly with this script:

create assembly behzad
from 'd:\EDCLR.dll'

i get this error:

Assembly 'EDCLR' references assembly 'system.servicemodel,
version=4.0.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=b77a5c561934e089.',
which is not present in the current database. SQL Server attempted to
locate and automatically load the referenced assembly from the same
location where referring assembly came from, but that operation has
failed (reason: 2(The system cannot find the file specified.)). Please
load the referenced assembly into the current database and retry your
request.

how can i solve that?thanks.

There are two problems here:

  1. ServiceModel is not a supported .NET Framework Library for SQLCLR. Meaning, it is not included in SQL Server's CLR host. In such cases, one needs to manually load, via CREATE ASSEMBLY, the Assembly. BUT,

  2. Starting in SQL Server 2012, you cannot reference / load ServiceModel as that version is the first to be linked to CLR v 4.0 in which ServiceModel became a mixed mode Assembly. Only pure MSIL Assemblies are allowed.

You will need to find a different way to accomplish this. One way is to use HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse.
