Hi @RAVI,

First of all, you should host your app in IIS, steps below:

1. Open IIS, right-click on Sites and select Add WebSite....

1. Configure your website, enter the site name, select app pool and physical path of your project, and enter the port (Unused port number. Port 80 is already used by the default site). likes:

3. Browser your site, click option below:

The default page should now be the Index page. Add /api/values/getdispatchdata after the URL bar, press Enter and view the response result.

Best regards,

Xudong Peng
