web api 2 routing - The resource cannot be found

Question

I\'ve added Web Api controller to MVC 5 application but all the time I get Error 404 - The resource cannot be found. I\'ve added GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.R

Answer 1

WebApi routing started to work after I've changed the position of Register api method to be above of register routes:

    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
        FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
        GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
    }
