Browse and annotate a file programmatically in .NET

GroupDocs.Annotation Product Family
1

Hi,

When I deploy the GroupDocs.Annotation project to IIS, the Browse files functionality is not working. It is found that the [Route(“loadFileTree”)] of AnnotationApiController is not working.

Can you please shed some light into the issue.

thanks and regards,

Minu

@minumary,

Are you using any of our open-source projects? If yes, please tell which one.
Otherwise, please share the sample application with us and also mention the API version that you have integrated in the project.

Yes. I used the GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET MVC Example from GitHub. version 1.19.0.

IIS verion : 10

Without making any changes , I deployed it to IIS. groupdoc-issue.png (37.0 KB)

Below is the response I am getting when I click on Browse files Icon:
[HttpException]: A public action method 'loadFileTree' was not found on controller 'GroupDocs.Annotation.MVC.Controllers.AnnotationController'.

Hi atirtahir3,

The issue is still existing. I downloaded the latest solution that you mentioned in the above mail. Installed to IIS without any changes.

Please see the below 2 images.

Response.png (63.7 KB)

The issue is, it is not routing to the AnnotationApiController action method loadFileTree and instead looking the loadFileTree action method in AnnotationController.

If I run the code from the solution, it all works fine.But installing in IIS, the Browse file fails.

Thanks in advance,

Minu

@minumary,

Your issue is still under investigation. We’ll share a correct solution soon to make it work simultaneously from Visual Studio and on IIS. But as for now, you can follow this temporary work-around:

  • You could add the sub-application under your annotation site
  • Specify alias annotation and set the same physical path to the files
