Question

What is the best way to consume WebAPI service from ActionResult in another controller?
Basicaly i have a controller that returns the data.

public class MyApiController : ApiController
{
    public MyData Get()
    {
      //returns the data
    }

}

and i want to consume this data from

public class MyConsumeController: Controller
{

    public ActionResult MyConsumeAction()
    {
       var something = //Call Get inside MyApiController 
    }
}

Any ideas?

Note: I know how to consume it using HttpClient (different project) or jquery (from views).

You could use the client API – the HttpClient class. And here’s another sample.
