ASP.Net MVC Api Controller - Custom Route

Question

I know this is a clone of the post ASP.net web api 2 Route-Attribute not working, but I am having another issue like this.

I can use the standard api routes if i configure this:

  // works just fine
  config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
      name: "DefaultApi",
      routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
      defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
  );
  // does absolutley nothing

but the config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); seems to be doing absolutely nothing. No matter what i have tried so far helps.

Has anybody had this issue?

I have tried all the listed routes using the [Route()] attribute. Nothing works.

You should probably take a look at this to see where you went wrong learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/… — Nkosi

Given that you have not really provided much to go on in terms of details there is way too many possibilities that could be the cause of your problem. You need to review How to Ask and then provide a minimal reproducible example. — Nkosi

Also note that config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); MUST come before convention-based routes. — Nkosi

I actually figured it out - there is an answer on the thread that I linked above by FrenchKevin777 - Verify that you are using System.Web.Http.RouteAttribute and not System.Web.Mvc.RouteAttribute — xarizmat

It turned out I was using the wrong namespace.

Must use : System.Web.Http.RouteAttribute What I Used : System.Web.Mvc.RouteAttribute The answer was posted on the thread which I referenced above - by ed FrenchKevin777
