To generate links in ASP.NET Web API using route names
1. Set a name for the route using the Name property of the [Route] attribute

[Route(“{id:int}”, Name = “GetStudentById”)]
public Student Get(int id)
{
return students.FirstOrDefault(s =] s.Id == id);
}

2. Use the name of the route to generate the link

public HttpResponseMessage Post(Student student)
{
students.Add(student);
var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);
response.Headers.Location = new Uri(Url.Link(“GetStudentById”, new { id = student.Id }));
return response;
}
