In a solution composed of several layers:

• BusinessEntity (Layer)
  • DTO
    • BeMonitorRequest.cs
    • …other classes…
• Web (Layer)
  • Controllers
    • MonitorController.cs
    • …other controllers…

I am having an issue generating installation files using the ‘Publish’ option in VS2015. I generate the files in a specific folder and then copy and paste them into the production environment.

When I run the project from VS2015, I don’t encounter any problems, but after pasting the generated deployment files into the production environment, I get a 500 error.

This error occurs when trying to fetch the endpoint called “api/monitor/getMonitorCasesByFilter”. It is defined as follows in the Web layer controller:

[RoutePrefix("api/monitor")]
public class MonitorController : BaseController
{
  private readonly ISelector iSelector;
  private readonly IMonitorCase iMonitorCase;
  private readonly ITimeConverter iTimeConverter;

  public MonitorController(IMonitorCase iMonitorCase, ISelector iSelector, ITimeConverter iTimeConverter)
  {
    this.iMonitorCase = iMonitorCase;
    this.iSelector = iSelector;
    this.iTimeConverter = iTimeConverter;
  }

  [HttpGet]
  [Route("getMonitorCasesByFilter")]
  public IHttpActionResult CasesByFilter([FromUri] BeMonitorRequest request)
  {
    request.ProjectId = this.GetProject();
    request.UserName = this.GetUserName();
    List<BeMonitorCase> CasesByFilter = this.iMonitorCase.GetMonitorCasesMainByFilter(request);
    return Ok(CasesByFilter);
  }
}

The DTO definition is as follows:

using MyProject.BusinessEntity.DTO;

namespace MyProject.BusinessEntity.DTO
{
  public class BeMonitorRequest 
  {
    public int ProjectId { get; set; }
    public string ProjectDB { get; set; }
    public string From { get; set; }
    public string To { get; set; }
    public string RadNumber { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public int ProcessId { get; set; }
    public string ProcessName { get; set; }
    public int TaskId { get; set; }
    public string NotificationType { get; set; }
    public int StepTypeId { get; set; }
    public int WiClosed { get; set; }
    public int WinClosed { get; set; }
  }
}

Here some error samples:

In local host (it works)

In production env (it not work)
