Asp.Net WebPages website - How to add WebApi controller

Question

I am building my site using Asp.Net Webpages 2 and Razor (C#).

I tried to insert WebApi controller and all I get is 404. Controller is a default one.

I even tried adding

RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional }
);

and I still get 404.

What else is there to do ?

Answer 1

I did it. In Global.asax you need to add

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Http" %>

And in Application_Start

RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional } ); 

Now it is working like it should. It did not work before because I tried the same code in Global.asax.cs.
