Getting Started With ASP.Net Web API 2: Day 2

Add two controllers, one for MVC and another for the Web API. The MVC controller has two Views.

• Code for MVC controller
  
  1. namespace Practice3.Controllers.Mvc
  2. {
  3. public class StudentsController : Controller
  4. {
  5. // GET: Students
  6. public ActionResult Index()
  7. {
  8. return View(Students.List);
  9. }
  10. public ActionResult Details(int id)
  11. {
  12. var stud = Students.List.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
  13. if (stud == null) return new HttpNotFoundResult();
  14. return View(stud);
  15. }
  16. }
  17. }
• Code for Web API Controller
  
  1. namespace Practice3.Controllers.WebApi
  2. {
  3. public class StudentsController : ApiController
  4. {
  5. public Student GetById(int id)
  6. {
  7. var stud = Students.List.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
  8. if (stud == null) throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
  9. return stud;
  10. }
  11. }
  12. }

In this step we will write some codes for displaying Web API data in the web page.
