ASP.Net MVC Api Controller - Custom Route

Question

I know this is a clone of the post ASP.net web api 2 Route-Attribute not working , but I am having another issue like this.

I can use the standard api routes if i configure this:

  // works just fine
  config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
      name: "DefaultApi",
      routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
      defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
  );
  // does absolutley nothing

but the config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); seems to be doing absolutely nothing. No matter what i have tried so far helps.

Has anybody had this issue?

I have tried all the listed routes using the [Route()] attribute. Nothing works.

Answer 1

It turned out I was using the wrong namespace.

Must use : System.Web.Http.RouteAttribute What I Used : System.Web.Mvc.RouteAttribute The answer was posted on the thread which I referenced above - by ed FrenchKevin777
