I am trying to learn Web APi in asp.net by this tutorial : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/henrikn/archive/2012/02/23/using-asp-net-web-api-with-asp-net-web-forms.aspx
I have a website that is working fine , Now i want to integrate WEB API .I created simple WEB API Controller class "Controller" , put RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute in Application_Start() in global.asax and then tried to call Api, but i am not getting data as output ..
this is controller class
public class Controller : ApiController
{
// GET api/<controller>
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
// GET api/<controller>/5
public string Get(int id)
{
return "value";
}
// POST api/<controller>
public void Post([FromBody]string value)
{
}
// PUT api/<controller>/5
public void Put(int id, [FromBody]string value)
{
}
// DELETE api/<controller>/5
public void Delete(int id)
{
}
}
Glogal Asax file:
<script runat="server">
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application startup
RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application shutdown
}
void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
}
void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs when a new session is started
}
void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs when a session ends.
// Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode
// is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer
// or SQLServer, the event is not raised.
}
</script>
and trying to call
http://localhost:56497/api/values/ http://localhost:56497/api/
but it gives error :
<Error>
<Message>
No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:56497/api/controller/'.
</Message>
<MessageDetail>
No type was found that matches the controller named 'controller'.
</MessageDetail>
</Error>
What is something that I am missing ?
