c# - WebApi endpoint always gives "404 not found" -

i trying implement webapi endpoints in brand new web app no matter try "404 not found" when trying said endpoint.

i'm starting simple , trying pull list of vehicles database.

the directory structure of application looks so:

the relevant bits of code so:

dataservice.js

(function () {  var injectparams = ['vehiclesservice'];  var dataservice = function (vehiclesservice) {     return vehiclesservice; };  dataservice.$inject = injectparams;  angular.module('teleaidiagnostics').factory('dataservice', dataservice); }()); 

vehiclesservice.js

(function () {  var injectparams = ['$http', '$q'];  var vehiclesfactory = function ($http, $q) {     var servicebase = '/api/dataservice/',         factory = {};      factory.getvehicles = function () {         return $http.get(servicebase + 'vehicles').then(function (response) {             var vehicles = response.data;             return {                 totalrecords: parseint(response.headers('x-inlinecount')),                 results: vehicles             };         });     };      return factory; };  vehiclesfactory.$inject = injectparams;  angular.module('teleaidiagnostics').factory('vehiclesservice', vehiclesfactory); }()); 

dataservicecontroller.cs

using system.collections.generic; using system.net; using system.net.http; using system.web; using system.web.http;  namespace teleaidiagnostics {     public class dataservicecontroller : apicontroller     {         teleairepository _teleairepository;          public dataservicecontroller()         {             _teleairepository = new teleairepository();         }          [httpget]         public httpresponsemessage vehicles()         {             list<teleaivehicle> vehicles = _teleairepository.getvehicles();             httpcontext.current.response.headers.add("x-inlinecount", vehicles.count.tostring());             return request.createresponse(httpstatuscode.ok, vehicles);         }     } } 

vehiclescontroller.js

(function () {     var injectparams = ['$location', 'dataservice'];      var vehiclescontroller = function ($location, dataservice) {         var vm = this;          vm.vehicles = [];          function init() {             dataservice.getvehicles()                 .then(function (data) {                     vm.vehicles = data.results;                 }, function (error) {                     var thiserror = error.data.message;                 });         };          init();     };      vehiclescontroller.$inject = injectparams;      angular.module('teleaidiagnostics').controller('vehiclescontroller', vehiclescontroller); }());

using system; using system.web.http;  namespace teleaidiagnostics {     public class global : system.web.httpapplication     {          protected void application_start(object sender, eventargs e)         {             webapiconfig.register(globalconfiguration.configuration);             globalconfiguration.configuration.ensureinitialized();         }          protected void session_start(object sender, eventargs e)         {          }          protected void application_beginrequest(object sender, eventargs e)         {          }          protected void application_authenticaterequest(object sender, eventargs e)         {          }          protected void application_error(object sender, eventargs e)         {          }          protected void session_end(object sender, eventargs e)         {          }          protected void application_end(object sender, eventargs e)         {          }     } } 

routeconfig.cs

namespace teleaidiagnostics {     public class routeconfig     {     } } 

i've tried instructions every tutorial find online , i'm still not having luck.

whatever can provided appreciated.

thanks,

ian

we have answer!

dan dumitru , jps both correct. after trying iis express realized error.

the endpoint indeed http://localhost/teleaidiagnostics/api/dataservice/vehicles , not http://localhost/api/dataservice/vehicles.

not sure why took long me realize this. regardless, want thank help.
