ASP.NET Web API multiple RoutePrefix

Question

The opensource Attribute Routing allows to have multiple route-prefixes. Why does ASP.NET Web API 2.0 does not allow to have multiple RoutePrefix().

[RoutePrefix("api/v1/{abc}/Entity")] [RoutePrefix("api/v1/{abc}/{xyz?}/Entity")] public class MyApiController : ApiController {    [Route("")]    public IHttpResult Get()    {       return Ok("Hello World");    } } 

Answer 1

You can add a route to the action method also overriding the RoutePrefix with a "~"

example:

[RoutePrefix("api/v1/{abc}/Entity")] public class MyApiController : ApiController {    [Route("")]    [Route("~/api/v1/{abc}/{xyz?}/Entity")]    public IHttpResult Get()    {       return Ok("Hello World");    } } 

Notice the line: [Route("~/ api/v1/{abc}/{xyz?}/Entity")]
