如何在具有相同参数的两种不同操作方法之间进行路由

Question

I am developing ASP.NET Web API 2 with Attribute Routing. I have a controller class and two action methods in it:

[RoutePrefix("api/settings")]
    public class SettingsController : ApiController
    {
        [Route("{getVersion}")]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetDBVersion(string PlatformID)
        {
            try
            {
                JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
                SqlManager sqlManager = new SqlManager();
                DataTable dt = sqlManager.GetLocalDBVersion(PlatformID);

                List<Dictionary<string, object>> rows = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>();
                Dictionary<string, object> row;
                foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
                {
                    row = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                    foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns)
                    {
                        row.Add(col.ColumnName, dr[col]);
                    }
                    rows.Add(row);
                }
                return Ok(serializer.Serialize(rows));
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return Content(HttpStatusCode.ExpectationFailed, ex.Message);
            }
        }
        [Route("getBookingSetting/{PlatformID:int}")]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetDBBookingSetting(int PlatformID)
        {
            try
            {
                JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
                SqlManager sqlManager = new SqlManager();
                DataTable dt = sqlManager.GetBookingSetting(PlatformID.ToString());

                List<Dictionary<string, object>> rows = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>();
                Dictionary<string, object> row;
                foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
                {
                    row = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                    foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns)
                    {
                        row.Add(col.ColumnName, dr[col]);
                    }
                    rows.Add(row);
                }
                return Ok(serializer.Serialize(rows));
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return Content(HttpStatusCode.ExpectationFailed, ex.Message);
            }
        }

i am calling the first action method by url:

/api/settings/getVersion?PlatformID=1

and second one by:

/api/settings/getBookingSetting?PlatformID=1

however in both cases, the first action method gets called everytime. How can i route between such cases where method names are different but parameters are of same name and type(or of different types)?

Answer 1

Your route definitions do not match your URLs:

[Route("{getVersion}")]

This expects a route parameter "getVersion", so even URLs like /api/settings/1 will match. You should rewrite it so that it's not a parameter:

[Route("getVersion")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetDBVersion([FromUri]string PlatformID)

Next:

[Route("getBookingSetting/{PlatformID:int}")]

This definition expects PlatformID as part of the route (ie /api/settings/getBookingSetting/1 ), but you're passing it as a query string.

You should change the definition to this:

[Route("getBookingSetting")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetDBBookingSetting([FromUri]int PlatformID)
