I know that I can use Url.Link() to get URL of a specific route, but how can I get Web API base URL in Web API controller? Kiran Challa You could use VirtualPathRoot property from HttpRequestContext ( request.GetRequestContext().VirtualPathRoot ) In the action method of the request to the url " http://localhost:85458/api/ctrl/ " var baseUrl = Request.RequestUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) ; this will get you http://localhost:85458 Url.Content("~/") worked for me! This is what I use: Uri baseUri = new Uri(Request.RequestUri.AbsoluteUri.Replace(Request.RequestUri.PathAndQuery, String.Empty

I'm running ASP WebAPI 2 and successfully installed Swashbuckle. I am trying to figure out how one defines what the default schema values are? For example, on the Swagger live demo site they changed the default value of pet to "doggie". They also defined the allowable values for status. ( Live Demo ) Well the code of vgaspar.trivix did not work completly for me, the default values did not get set for the schema. Also i got an NullPointerException . I managed to get it working as intended by editing the Apply method and manipulated the schemaRegistry like this: public void Apply(Operation

Just upgraded an ASP.NET MVC4 project to use Unity.WebApi version 5.0.0.0 and it requires System.Web.Http v 5.0.0.0 as per the following error: Assembly 'Unity.WebApi, Version=5.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=43da31bc42a85347' uses 'System.Web.Http, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'System.Web.Http, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' I am currently referencing System.Web.Http v4.0 but have the following NuGet packages upgraded to their respective latest versions:

Setup: New MVC5 Project with just Web API. Added Facebook AppId and Secret. I can get Token for my Web API from Token endpoint by passing in UserName and Password. Then use that token for further calls. BUT I want to register new users with the help of Facebook SDK in iOS app. I am using Facebook SDK to get Access Token. (Assume at this point, I have an Access Token). Next thing I know is to call api/Account/RegisterExternal endpoint by passing this token in Authorization header with Bearer [Access Token] but this result in 500 server error. I guess I know the reason, Cookie is missing. I made

I used to place my controllers into a separate Class Library project in Mvc Web Api. I used to add the following line in my web api project's global.asax to look for controllers in the separate project: ControllerBuilder.Current.DefaultNamespaces.Add("MyClassLibraryProject.Controllers"); I never had to do any other configuration, except for adding the above line. This has always worked fine for me. However I am unable to use the above method to do the same in WebApi2. It just doesn't work. The WebApi2 project still tries to find the controllers in its own project's controllers folder. --

I'm trying to create a unified error handling/reporting in ASP.NET Web API 2.1 Project built on top of OWIN middleware (IIS HOST using Owin.Host.SystemWeb). Currently I used a custom exception logger which inherits from System.Web.Http.ExceptionHandling.ExceptionLogger and uses NLog to log all exceptions as the code below: public class NLogExceptionLogger : ExceptionLogger { private static readonly Logger Nlog = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger(); public override void Log(ExceptionLoggerContext context) { //Log using NLog } } The I want to change the response body for all API exceptions to a

Let's assume this is my action method public IHttpActionResult Get(int id) { var status = GetSomething(id); if (status) { return Ok(); } else { return NotFound(); } } Test will be var httpActionResult = controller.Get(1); How do I check my http status code after this? Here Ok() is just a helper for the type OkResult which sets the response status to be HttpStatusCode.Ok ...so you can just check if the instance of your action result is an OkResult ...some examples(written in XUnit ): // if your action returns: NotFound() IHttpActionResult actionResult = valuesController.Get(10); Assert.IsType
