Unable to configure route for Get in WebApi 2












0















I'm struggling with something very basic. I'm trying to be get a response from my WebApi2 restful service, and I can't.



I have not edited the default WebApi (WebApiConfig.cs) route.



This is the controller



public class AboutController 
{
[Route("api/about/{id:int}/{service1}/{service2}")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Get(int accountId, string mainservice, string secondaryservice)
{
//logic
}
}


If I navigate (in a browser) to http://localhost:58090/api/about I get the error message The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'. I guess this makes sense, as it doesn't match the route (path).



If I update the path to something which matches the signature, such as http://localhost:58090/api/about/1/a/b I get the error message No action was found on the controller About' that matches the request.



Even if I add [HttpGet] to the controller, it makes no difference.



As a sanity test, I updated to



public class AboutController 
{
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Get()
{
//logic
}
}


and it does what is expected. I'm lost as to why adding the parameters has confused things so much.



I'm lost as to what I've done wrong

The route must match the parameters



   [Route("api/about/{id:int}/{service1}/{service2}")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Get(int id, string mainService, string secondaryService)
{


The above won't work, because it is expecting to see service1 and service2 based upon the route.



Update as per the example below



   [Route("api/about/{id:int}/{service1}/{service2}")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Get(int id, string service1, string service2)
{
