Api Controller Method not calls

Question

I have MVC project, I have added one API controller.in this API controller I have created methods in it.but when I am trying to call this API from postman or localhost with "http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs" Url its gives following response.

{
  "Message": "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs'.",
  "MessageDetail": "No type was found that matches the controller named 'BedfordBrownstoneApi'."
}

My API controller is like following.

 public class BedfordBrownstoneApi : ApiController
    {
        // GET api/<controller>
        public int GetAgentId(string username,string password)
        {
            DataContext db = new DataContext();
            var data = db.Set<AgentLogin>().Where(a => a.UserName==username && a.Password==password).SingleOrDefault();
            return data.AgentId;
        }
}
}

My WebApiConfig class is like following.

  public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}",
                defaults: new { action = "GetAgentId" }
            );
        }
    }

try this - remove the 'Api' from controller name http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstone/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs — Asif Raza, May 22 '17 at 05:06
Is there a `GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);` call inside your `Global.asax` file? — Alisson, May 22 '17 at 05:10
You didn't mention Controller in your api controller name, check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11384552/getting-no-type-was-found-that-matches-the-controller-named-sampleslashbaseser — Venkateswaran R, May 22 '17 at 05:10
Change your controller class name to 'BedfordBrownstoneApiController' — RK_Aus, May 22 '17 at 05:19
@RK_Aus I did this change and call with "http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstoneApiController/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs" url but same issue — Sanjiv Rajput, May 22 '17 at 05:23
@SanjivRajput - You have missed the call 'config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();' in WebApiConfig also. I have updated the detail in my answer below. — RK_Aus, May 22 '17 at 23:02

 config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { action = "GetAgentId",id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );

add Id parameter in your routeTemplete in webapiconfig.

Check Accepted Answer of 'Benoit74B'. It clearly explains problem in details. Actual problem is regarding parameters you are passing -

"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI" here?

Remove "API" from controller name BedfordBrownstoneApi.

Change it from

http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs

to

http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstone/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs

Have you enabled attribute routing in api config? config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

With your current route, you should hit it via query string "http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId?username=dgsdgsdgsd&password=sdgsdgs" and decorate the parameters with [FromUri]

   [HttpGet]
   [Route("api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId/")]
   public int GetAgentId(string username,string password)
   {  
      //api stuff
   }

or to hit the api via route parameters - http://localhost:10133/api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId/yourusername/yourpassword

   [HttpGet]
   [Route("api/BedfordBrownstoneApi/GetAgentId/{username}/{password}")]
   public int GetAgentId(string username,string password)
   {  
      //api stuff
   }

Hope this helps you. Thanks!!

There are two issues.

Controller name - Change the name, add Controller in the name (BedfordBrownstoneApiController).
You missed calling 'config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes()' in Register function.

Please update your 'Register' function in 'WebApiConfig' as below.

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
    config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

    config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
        name: "DefaultApi",
        routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}",
        defaults: new { action = "GetAgentId" }
    );
}
