Hello fellow developers!

I'm creating my first Episerver solution using web api to expose data as json code.

Thus far I've used:

http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/creating-web-apis/using-web-api-with-aspnet-web-forms

and

http://www.frederikvig.com/2012/02/using-the-asp-net-web-api-framework-with-episerver/

to enable web api in my episerver solution. I was not able to make it work in my orginal solution

so I moved everything into a brand new episerver solution and there it worked (in a way).

I've added the following code to Application_Start in Application_Start in Global.asax.cs:

            RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional }
                );
I've added the following web api class to a directory called Controller:

namespace Solution.Controller
{
    public class PagesController : ApiController
    {
        public PageDataView Get(int id)
        {
            PageData page = DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(new PageReference(id));
 
            if (page == null)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
            }
 
            if (!page.CheckPublishedStatus(PagePublishedStatus.Published) || !page.QueryDistinctAccess(AccessLevel.Read))
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Forbidden);
            }
 
            return page.ConvertToPageDataView();
        }
 
        public IEnumerable<PageDataView> GetChildren(int id)
        {
            var pages = DataFactory.Instance.GetChildren(new PageReference(id));
 
            if (pages == null)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
            }
 
            FilterForVisitor.Filter(pages);
 
            if (pages.Count == 0)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Forbidden);
            }
 
            return pages.Select(p => p.ConvertToPageDataView());
        }
    }
}

When I try http://igcpi0d2e007:17006/api/Pages/ I get:
<Error>
	<Message>
               No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://igcpi0d2e007:17006/api/Pages/'.
        </Message>
        <MessageDetail>
             No action was found on the controller 'Pages' that matches the request.
        </MessageDetail>
</Error>

When I try http://igcpi0d2e007:17006/api/Pages/175 I get:

<Error><Message>An error has occurred.</Message><ExceptionMessage>Multiple actions were found that match the request: 
Vilkaar.ViewModels.PageDataView Get(Int32) on type Vilkaar.Controller.PagesController

   at System.Web.Http.ApiController.ExecuteAsync(HttpControllerContext controllerContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   at System.Web.Http.Dispatcher.HttpControllerDispatcher.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)</StackTrace></Error>

    
And when I try http://igcpi0d2e007:17006/api/Pages/Get/175 I get 404 error.

I really hope someone can help me because customers are waiting for a solution.
In advance thank you very much for clues in how to fix this problem.

Kind regards,
