attributerouting

I want to go to http://myserver and be able to get Help Pages as the default home page, so the first thing a guest to http://myserver should see is the Help Page.

I have a webapi project with a base ApiController named SlashBaseService: [RouteArea("uBase")] public abstract class SlashBaseService : ApiController { } The resulting dll is used in a WebForms project so I also have a WebActivator class with the following code to generate routes: RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(config => { // Get all services inheriting from SlashBaseService foreach (var assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()) { foreach (var type in assembly.GetTypes()) { if (type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(SlashBaseService))) { // Scan assembly config.ScanAssembly(assembly); /

I'm trying to use Web API 2 attribute routing to set up a custom API. I've got my route working such that my function gets called, but for some reason I need to pass in my first parameter for everything to work properly. The following are the URLs I want to support: http://mysite/api/servicename/parameter1 http://mysite/api/servicename/parameter1?parameter2=value2 http://mysite/api/servicename/parameter1?parameter2=value2&parameter3=value3 http://mysite/api/servicename/parameter1?parameter2=value2&parameter3=value3&p4=v4 The last 3 URLs work but the first one says "No action was found on the
