I have been creating a restful service using WCF.
I had to use serviceroute class in my code and i added the

C#

System.ServiceModel.Activation;

namespace.
Even after using the above namespace it says

C#

The type or namespace name 'ServiceRoute' could not be found

C#

using System.Web.Routing;
using System.Web.Routing.RouteBase;
using System.Web.Routing.Route;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;

namespace RESTfulSample
{
    public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        { 
            RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("RestService", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(RESTSerivce))); //ServiceRoute is not found
 
        }
    }
}

Why does it show inspite of using System.ServiceModel.Activation namespace?
?

Before "using" it, you have to have this class in your code; this is your immediate problem. First, the full class name is System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceRoute. Second, I'm not sure that you even referenced the assembly where that class is found. This is "System.ServiceModel.Activation.dll": ServiceRoute Class (System.ServiceModel.Activation)[^].

The assembly is in GAC; with Visual Studio, the reference is added from the first tab of the window "Add Reference".
