How to enable cross-origin request in web api 2

Bikesh Srivastava

I know its not a big issue to resolve ,But i am facing problem to consume web api in asp.net MVC web api.

I am getting below error:

"XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://192.168.1.71:800/api/IzoGlass/ToolLocationData. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:58469' is therefore not allowed access".

I've searched and find solution but not working fine with my application.

Description :-When i am consuming web api from same domain in my application its working fine.

but whenever i am consuming webapi from other domain its throwing error. given above.
