MVC Attribute Routing Not Working

Question

I\'m relatively new to the MVC framework but I do have a functioning Web Project with an API controller that utilizes AttributeRouting (NuGet package) - however, I\'m starti

Answer 1

In nuGet package manager install to your project Web API Web Host package

add this class to folder app_start-> WebApiConfig.cs(if it doesn't exits - create):

  public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); // pay attention to this method
//here you can map any mvc route
            //config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            //    name: "DefaultApi",
            //    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
            //    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            //);
            config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing();
        }
    }

after Try change your Global.asax configuration to:

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

P.S.

look through this article, very useful http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/attribute-routing-in-web-api-2
