title: Manual setup of WebAPI project not retrieving data
body: <p>I just created a VS 2013 WebApi 2.0 project.  I added a DataContext and defined a DbSet and Model.  I added a controller to test it all out but I am not getting any data.  I have done this many times but I can't figure out what I am not doing.</p>
  
  <p>My DataContext</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class DriverAlertContext : DbContext
  {
      public DriverAlertContext() : base("DefaultConnection") { }
      public DbSet&lt;Companies&gt; Companies { get; set; }
      public DbSet&lt;Drivers&gt; Drivers { get; set; }
      public DbSet&lt;Vehicles&gt; Vehicles { get; set; }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My Controller</p>
  
  <pre><code>[HttpGet]
  public IEnumerable&lt;Companies&gt; Get()
  {
     var x = db.Companies;
  
     return x;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an empty set [] as a reply.  When I browse the datatable I see data.  My connection string is correct.  What am I forgetting?</p>
