Trying to implement a Breeze controller in asp.net mvc - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I am trying to implement a simple Breeze controller in Asp.Net MVC4, but can't seem to access it. Is it possibly conflicting with .Net's standard Web.Api ?
If my url is http://localhost:49479/api/values then I get a good return value from Web Api.
However if my url is http://localhost:49479/breeze/Breeze I get "Http 404" error "Resource not found".
If my url is http://localhost:49479/breeze/Breeze/5 I get error No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:49479/breeze/Breeze/5'.
Your advice is greatly appreciate.
Here's what I have in ..Controllers/BreezeController.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;
using Breeze.ContextProvider;
using Breeze.WebApi2;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace RageSys.Controllers
{
[BreezeController]
public class BreeezeController : ApiController
{
// GET api/values
public string Get(int id)
{
return "value";
}
public IEnumerable<string> GetMtm(int id)
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}
}
and in BreezeWebApiConfig.cs :
using System.Web.Http;
[assembly: WebActivator.PreApplicationStartMethod(
typeof(RageSys.App_Start.BreezeWebApiConfig), "RegisterBreezePreStart")]
namespace RageSys.App_Start {
///<summary>
/// Inserts the Breeze Web API controller route at the front of all Web API routes
///</summary>
public static class BreezeWebApiConfig {
public static void RegisterBreezePreStart() {
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "BreezeApi",
routeTemplate: "breeze/{controller}/{action}"
);
}
}
}

Answer 1

The result you are getting from your api/values request is not coming from the listed controller. You must have the default ValuesController and WebApiConfig (which defines a route that takes a parameter) still in your project.
You do not have a route for http://localhost:49479/breeze/Breeze/5. The third segment (currently 5) needs to be the name of an Action method. For you, that means GetMtm. You do not have a route that takes any parameters, so you'll get nothing from: http://localhost:49479/breeze/Breeze/GetMtm/5 unless you define such a route. You probably don't want to do this though, because Breeze coupled with Entity Framework will make life very easy. You should implement the simplest possible Breeze / Entity Framework application and see how it works from there.

If you are using parameters and using Breeze, then ensure you use the .withParameters({ ParameterName: "Fred"}) or .withParameters({ id: id-value}), for example, in your Breeze query and ensure the parameter name in your function to be called (GetMtm in your case) at the server matches the parameter name you are using at the client.
