    API and Surface Controllers

    Trying to create an API controller but getting 404 error when accessing URL

    public class CustomController : UmbracoApiController

    {

    [System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
    public IEnumerable<string> GetAllProducts()
    {
    return new [] {"Table", "Chair"};
    }

    }

    I thought I could then access the URL using /umbraco/api/Custom/GetAllProducts but get 404.

    Also have same issue with surface controllers, for example;

    public class LoginController : SurfaceController

    {

    [System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
    public int Index()
    {
    return 1;
    }

    }

    /umbraco/surface/Login/Index gives me a 404.

    I am surely missing something simple here, it's been one of those days, so any clues would be really appreciated. Tried running in IIS Express and IIS same issue, surely a config thing, I have the training site I did in training (v 7.0.4) which is working ok? I understand I shouldn't need to create any custom routes or anything like that?

    Version 7.1.2

    Well, I don't know what you're doing but it looks like something is messing with your routing (click for a larger version):

    If it's any consolation for your sanity the code seems fine!, I just cut and paste your controller code above into a fresh 7.1.2, rebuilt and you can see from screen grab returns data ok. did you get 7.1.2 via Nuget ? or upgrade or is it a fresh download. If you've used Nuget or upgraded, I'd check global.asax exists and is inheriting Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplicationsax.cs

    Thanks guys, it was a weird one, an IIS reset and a rebuild seems to have resolved it, was pulling my hair out :-)
