I am trying to download a csv file using web api 2 and angular js. This is my controller code public IHttpActionResult ExportCsvData() { var stream = new FileStream("Testcsv.csv", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK); response.Content = new StreamContent(stream); response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream"); response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment") { FileName = "Testcsv.csv" }; return Ok(response); } This is my angular code, var filename =

Scenario: Both Web application and Web API need to be authenticated and protected from the server side. Requirement: Web application is serving the contents for the browser and browser should be calling Web API directly (i.e. Browser to API). Question: Is it possible to authenticate both Web APP and the API using tokens? Any sample code or clear direction would be highly appreciated. Normally web applications are authenticated using cookies and APIs are authenticated using tokens.There are some sample projects available here but they are either browser to API (SPA token based) or Server side

We are using WebAPI 2.2, with OData v3 and BreezeJS and are having an issue when using inheritance, we have a setup along the following lines (simplified obviously for this issue) We have a Vehicle abstract class and then two other classes (Bus and Car) which inherit from Vehicle, such as: public abstract class Vehicle { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } } public class Bus : Vehicle { public int NumberOfSeats { get; set; } } public class Car : Vehicle { public string Colour { get; set; } } We then have an Activity class which can have a single Vehicle (either a Car

This is a follow up to a question I had asked previously that was closed for being too broad. Previous Question In that question I explained that I needed upload a large file (1-3GB) to the database by storing chunks as individual rows. I did this by overriding the MultipartFormDataStreamProvider.GetStream method. That method returned a custom stream that wrote the buffered chunks to the database. The problem is that the overriden GetStream method is writing the entire request to the database (including the headers). It is successfully writing that data while keeping the Memory levels flat but

I have this ASP.NET MVC 5 project which I'm converting over to AngularJS with MS Web Api. Now in the old project I have these c# controllers of type Controller , however in my new project I've created some new Web Api controllers of type ApiController . Now I'd like to reuse the old controller code in my new project. Herein lies my confusion. As I attempt to port the old controller code over to my Web Api controller, I'm getting some front-end $http request errors. Here's a function from my Angular dataService factory which makes an http req down to 'api/Whatif/SummaryPortfolios' : function

Basically the Constructor isn't getting Injected. public class Startup { public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app) { var config = new HttpConfiguration(); config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "Default Route", routeTemplate: "{controller}.{ext}" ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "Default Route with Id", routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}.{ext}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); var builder = new ContainerBuilder(); builder.RegisterApiControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()); builder

I have ASP.NET MVC5 web application and i also have Web API in the same application. I am uisng Unity (version 4) for DI.

After adding Simple Injector to my project to create an instance of my UserAppManager that will exist through the whole lifetime of a session I started to recieve errors: Error with no parameterless constructor: An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type 'AuthController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor. Error with a parameterless constructor: For the container to be able to create AuthController it should have only one public constructor: it has 2. I followed a guide ( https://simpleinjector.codeplex.com/discussions/564822 ) to avoid
