Question

I’ve just installed Visual Studio 2012 and started checking out MVC 4 and Web Api.
I’ve created a new MVC 4 app with Web API. Based on some examples and tutorials I started configuring my routes with:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "Controller only",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}"
            );

However, that results in an error that RouteCollection doesn’t contain a definition for MapHttpRoute. Am I missing some DLLs installed?
As far as I could see I have all the right DLLs and version installed.

Answer 1

I have solved it by adding a reference to System.Web.Http in RouteConfig.cs
