In the 1st code example the closing head tag in Index.cshtml is omitted.

{

throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound);

}

"...we set the product name to "Gizmo id". For example, if the user requests ID = 4, the method returns "Gizmo 4".

It does't return "Gizmo 4" it throws an exception, doesn't it?

The request is a GET request, so the framework looks for a method on ProductsController whose name starts with "Get..."

It is not at all fine

Based on this line above:

To get a list of products, send an HTTP GET request to "/api/products"

how does the http request know about api/products ? Is that based on the ProductsController.cs file that we created above ? Is the name "Products" understood here ?

Please clarify, and I apologize if I missed something in my reading...

regards,

Bob

Add a new routing:

routes.MapHttpRoute(

name: "DefaultApi",

routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",

defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }

);

Thanks again

I have one question. If we have 2 methods in products controller without parameter, i.e one as mentioned above

public IEnumerable<Product> GetAllProducts()

{

------

}

suppose other we have

public IEnumerable<Product> GetFirstProducts()

{

------

}

How we can call GetFirstProduct() method?

It stopped after I switched the indenting to "None" in (Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> HTML -> Tabs).

I switched it back to "Block", and it seems fine. Smart is disabled.

I got the idea from this suggestion for VS11:

@nandodixtorsion: Thanks, fixed -- I changed the code and forgot to update the text.

@robertmazzo: Yes, it looks to match the variable {controller} in the route with the name of the controller.

@phantasm33: No, the folder name is not important. It's just a way to organize your source files.

throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound);

Doesn’t work on a server for HTTP status of 400 and upwards the IIS is hijacking your error message and replacing it with his own.

See:

stackoverflow.com/

-Any solution?

One question, how do you call a function with two parameters?

GetProductByIdName(int id, string pname) ?

api/products/id ...??

GetAllProducts()

GetFilteredProducts()

How does the api know which one to pull?
