Web Api Can't find Resource

Question

I am trying to include Web APi in an ASp.NET application with Mvc. The application uses Identity Framework to authenticate itself.

I added a WebApiConfig

Imports System.Web.Http

Namespace ActualizadorApp.Api
    Public NotInheritable Class WebApiConfig
        Private Sub New()
        End Sub
        Public Shared Sub Register(config As HttpConfiguration)
            ' TODO: Add any additional configuration code.

            ' Web API routes
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes()

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(name:="Api", routeTemplate:="api/{controller}/{id}", defaults:=New With {
                Key .id = RouteParameter.[Optional]
            })

            ' WebAPI when dealing with JSON & JavaScript!
            ' Setup json serialization to serialize classes to camel (std. Json format)
            Dim formatter = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter
            formatter.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = New Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

In Global.Asax I have referenced this configuration

Sub Application_Start()
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas()
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes)

    WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration)

    ModelBinders.Binders.Add(GetType(Decimal), New DecimalModelBinder())
    ModelBinders.Binders.Add(GetType(Decimal?), New DecimalModelBinder())

End Sub

The authentication through / token is correct and returns the token correctly, but in the following GET calls to drivers the client returns me a 404 Could someone tell me that I'm doing wrong?

Imports System.Web.Http

<Authorize()>
Public Class TestController
    Inherits ApiController
    'public TestController() { }

    ' GET api/test
    Public Function GetValues() As IEnumerable(Of String)
        Return New String() {"value1", "value2"}
    End Function

    ' GET api/test/5
    Public Function GetValue(id As Integer) As String
        Return "value"
    End Function

End Class

Web Api need to be registered before MVC Routes. And also you need to switch around the GlobalConfiguration

Sub Application_Start()
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas()
    'Regsiter Web API routes before MVC routes
    GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register)
    'MVC routes
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes)

    ModelBinders.Binders.Add(GetType(Decimal), New DecimalModelBinder())
    ModelBinders.Binders.Add(GetType(Decimal?), New DecimalModelBinder())

End Sub
