WebAPI - Attribute routing to remove virtual directory from URL

Question

I am using WebAPI 2 with Attribute routing in my project. I deployed my project under a virtual directory in IIS. I need to remove virtual Directory name from the URL. Now my URL is api.mydomain.com/virtualdirectory/{controllerName}/{Version} In my Route Prefix I am passing controllerName/Version. I need to change the URL to api.mydomain.com/{controllerName}/{Version} Please help me how can i achieve this using attribute routing.

The question is will a request like api.mydomain.com/{controllerName}/{Version} hit your action?...route templates(with conventional or attribute routing) are always relative to the base path of your application and if the base path of the application includes the virtual directory, then the request urls would need to have this information to hit the actions...one option i can think of is to host your application directly under the website...

My Application should go under the virtual directory. For some of the controllers I need to rename the virtual directory name with the controller name.
