You just need to change some files. This works for me.

Global.ascx

public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication {
    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
    } }

WebApiConfig.cs

All the requests has to call this code.

public static class WebApiConfig {
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        EnableCrossSiteRequests(config);
        AddRoutes(config);
    }

    private static void AddRoutes(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "Default",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/"
        );
    }

    private static void EnableCrossSiteRequests(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute(
            origins: "*", 
            headers: "*", 
            methods: "*");
        config.EnableCors(cors);
    } }

Some Controller

Nothing to change.

Web.config

You need to add handlers in your web.config
