I'm trying to make a delete user route, but i can't get it to work.
Everything I find online is for .NET CORE.
I use ASP.NET MVC. So I ran routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes() in RouteConfig.cs.
I than create a controller extending System.Web.Mvc.Controller. (Everything comes from the System.Web.Mvc namespace).

And I have the following method:

[HttpDelete, Route("user/{id:long}")]
public async Task<ActionResult> Destroy(long id)
{
    IAccountService accountService = new AccountService();

    bool success = await accountService.Delete(id);

    return Json(new AuthenticateDto());
}

Rearranging the attributes doesn't work (I'm new to attributes so idk if it even helps)
When I try to visit the url i receive a 404.

Anyone has a clue, why it does not work?

  • How do you test it? Webbrowsers only support get and post. What happens, when you replace [HttpDelete, Route("user/{id:long}")] whith [HttPost, Route("user/{id:long}")] and call /user/42? Commented May 29, 2020 at 0:06
  • I used postman to test it and used the folowing url: localhost:44378/user/5 Commented May 29, 2020 at 0:10
  • And did you selected delete in Postman? Commented May 29, 2020 at 0:26
  • yes, and If I change it with HttpPost it works just fine if I select Post Commented May 29, 2020 at 0:27
