Hi,
I want to call an WebApi Method,this is how my webapi method looks like:

C#

[HttpPost]
            [Route("PostMyService/updatedBy/{updatedByID}/myobjname")]
            public void PostTerminalService([FromBody]  List<SomeType> lstSomeObj, MyClass myobj, int updatedByID)
    {
    //Do Something
    }

this is how my client looks like:

C#

int loggedinuserid=1;
     List<Sometype> liTS = new List<SomeType>();
   MyClass myobj=new MyClass();
       var url = "api/XYZ/PostMyService/updatedBy/" + loggedinuserid + "/myobjname/" + myobj;
       HttpResponseMessage response = client1.PostAsJsonAsync(url, liTS).Result;

But the error/exception I am getting is:
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
Most likely causes:
•The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
•The URL contains a typographical error.
•A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.

Any idea how to resolve this?I am kind of hitting a wall on this.

thanks in advance.

Put some sniffer - lie Fiddler - to see what URL you really try to reach...

Requested URL
http://localhost:55581/api/XYZ/PostMyService/updatedBy/1/myobjname/ABC.WS.Enrollment.Client.Model.MyClass

And does it make you sense?
I think your path mapping should be something like this:
[Route("PostMyService/updatedBy/{updatedByID}/myobjname/{myobj}")]

same result.

Update your api method with this

C#

[Route("PostMyService/updatedBy/{updatedByID:int}/myobjname/{myobj:MyClass }")]
   public List<sometype> PostTerminalService(int updatedByID,MyClass myobj)
    {
    //Do Something
    }
