Web API Routing - api/{controller}/{action}/{id} “dysfunctions” api/{controller}/{id}

Question

I have the default Route in Global.asax:

 RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
         name: \"DefaultApi\",
         routeTemplate: \"api/{controller}/{id}\",
          


        

Answer 1

The possible reason can also be that you have not inherited Controller from ApiController. Happened with me took a while to understand the same.
