How to create ASP.NET Web API Url?

Question

In ASP.NET MVC, we have @Url.Action for actions. Is there something similar like @Url.Api which would route to /api/controller?

Answer 1

It works with the simpler form of Url.Action thus you don't have to reference any Routing names:

Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName", new { httproute = "DefaultApi" })

You might want to add an area = "" if the URL is needed within an Area. (Api controllers are outside of Areas by default.) I'm using MVC 4.
