title: Default page with MVC project using WebAPI does not launch
body: <p>I'm new to WebAPI... I know how to create an MVC View retuning from a request when not using the WebAPI.</p>
  
  <p>Typically, in the _Layout.cshtml page, you have an "Index" controller action method that is executed for a particular controller and the Index View comes up fine.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried several things, but cannot get the default View to come up when using a WebAPI controller. For instance, I have a "GetCategories" action method inside the WebAPI controller. </p>
  
  <p>Instead of the non-WebAPI controller method where the "Index" route works (via my _Layout.cshtml page), I don't know what to place inside here where a default view would come up.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;@Html.ActionLink("Categories", "GetCategories", "Categories")&lt;/li&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone please point me in the right direction here?</p>
  
  <p>Note that I changed the action method to "GetCategories" to agree with what I have in the WebAPI controller, but obviously, like I mentioned, doesn't come up with the corresponding View name that I have for it under the Views/Categories folder (GetCategories).</p>
  
  <p><strong>I get the error "Requested URL: /Categories/GetCategories" not found.</strong></p>
