Is there any way to statically get route values from a service method (outside of a controller) that is running in a Web API context? For example, I can do the following in ASP.NET MVC:
var mvcHandler = HttpContext.Current.Handler as MvcHandler;
var routeValues = mvcHandler.RequestContext.RouteData.Values;
I'd like to find the equivalent version of this code for Web API.
When I try to debug a sample Web API request and look at HttpContext.Current.Handler
it is of type HttpControllerHandler
, but this type doesn't have any properties to access route data.
EDIT
To try to help provide some more information. The code I am trying to read the value from is inside of a factory class I have that builds a custom object for my application.
You can use GetRouteData() extension on HttpRequestMessage. You would need to include System.Net.Http namespace to get this.
System.Web.Http.Routing.IHttpRouteData routeData = Request.GetRouteData();
I was able to find a solution that would get the route values for either an MVC request or a Web API request.
HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData
