web api Route attribute not found

Question

I need to implement a Method in my web service, which is available by a defined route. So I used the Route attribute like this:

    [Route("api/New")]
    public void CreateNew(int id)
    {
        //Do stuff
    }

But VS2013 says that the namespace "Route" can't be found.

I guess this can be solved by installing a nuget package.

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

Attribute Routing is native in ASP.NET MVC 5, or later, and ASP.NET Web API 2. check your MVC version it should be above the 4.

Answer 2

1. Install-Package AttributeRouting (for MVC)

2. Install-Package AttributeRouting.WebApi (for Web API)

3. Install-Package AttributeRouting.WebApi.Hosted (for self-hosted Web API)
