Error with WebApi RouteAttribute

This is my prefix attribute

 [RoutePrefix("news/farms")]
 public class farmsController : ApiController

I want to delete a row based on farmid but i want a url structure like this

/news/farms/{farmId}?version={Version}

I tried route url like below code 

 [HttpDelete, Route("{farmId}?version={Version}", Name = "Deletefarm")]

But it shows 

The route template cannot start with a '/' or '~' character and it cannot contain a '?' character.

Please anyone let me know is there any other way to solve this error?

Solution

  • Set the RoutePrefix like in your example:

    [RoutePrefix("news/farms")]
public class FarmsController : ApiController

    And your delete Methode:

    [HttpDelete]
[Route("{farmId}")]
public void Delete(int farmId, string version)

    Then this should work:

    .../news/farms/1?version=myVersion
