WebApi Controller not being hit from browser - asp.net-mvc

Question

Hello All I added a Controller in my project like this:-
using Aero.Api.Models.ViewModels;
using Aero.Common.Interface;
using Aero.Data.Interface;
using Microsoft.Web.Http;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Aero.Api.Controllers
{
[ApiVersion("1.0")]
[Route("api/v{version:apiVersion}/province")]
public class ProvinceController : BaseApiController
{
private IUserService _userService { get; set; }
// GET: States
public ProvinceController(IUserService userService, IMappingHelper mapper) :
base(mapper)
{
_userService = userService;
}
public List<StateProvinceModel> Get()
{
List<StateProvinceModel> states = new List<StateProvinceModel>();
StateProvinceModel stateProvince = new StateProvinceModel()
{
Id = "BC",
Value = "BC - British Columbia",
Name = "British Columbia",
Country = "Canada"
};
StateProvinceModel stateProvince1 = new StateProvinceModel()
{
Id = "QB",
Value = "QB- Quebec",
Name = "Quebec",
Country = "Canada"
};
StateProvinceModel stateProvince2 = new StateProvinceModel()
{
Id = "ON",
Value = "ON- Ontario",
Name = "Ontario",
Country = "Canada"
};
states.Add(stateProvince);
states.Add(stateProvince1);
states.Add(stateProvince2);
StateProvinceModel stateProvince3 = new StateProvinceModel()
{
Id = "IL",
Value = "IL - Illinois",
Name = "Illinois",
Country = "United States"
};
StateProvinceModel stateProvince4 = new StateProvinceModel()
{
Id = "GA",
Value = "GA-Georgia",
Name = "Georgia",
Country = "United States"
};
StateProvinceModel stateProvince5 = new StateProvinceModel()
{
Id = "NY",
Value = "NY- New York",
Name = "New York",
Country = "United States"
};
states.Add(stateProvince3);
states.Add(stateProvince4);
states.Add(stateProvince5);
return states;
}
}
}
when I try to call the Get method from browser like this:- http://localhost:44300/api/v1/province I get an error that the resource was not found. Other Urls on existing controllers work. For example a Url like this:- http://localhost:44300/api/v1/properties works perfectly fine.
Can anyone tell me what is going on ?

Answer 1

You should inherit your contoller class to ApiController instead of BaseApiContoller.
Ex: public class GoaAPIController : ApiController

Answer 2

Sir, You can Try changing The Method Name .
