How to add custom methods to ASP.NET WebAPI controller?

Question

In ASP.NET MVC WebAPI project by default we have created following controller

 public class ValuesController : ApiController
    {
        /         


        

Answer 1

First Put this route to webapiconfig.cs

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "ApiWithAction",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );

Now you can add actions to your controllers like this

 [HttpPost]
    public void Upload()
    {
           //Do some thing
    }

I decorated upload action with httppost attribute that means this action accept just only post requests , if you want to actions to be GET , you can remove attribute or just decorate to your suite
