                    var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Uploads/" + fileName);

                    postedFile.SaveAs(filePath);

                    return "/Uploads/" + fileName;

Solution

You are missing the references in your project for those libraries. As per svdoever you can add the package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi through NuGet to fix this. For instructions on how to use NuGet, please click here

Hi, I apply this in xamarin form

Your Xamarin.Forms project cannot and should not contain any WEB.Api controllers. Your server side code should be in a separate project. Re-watch the youtube video.

I'm following the Asp.NET tutorial and am getting the same issue. I'm not really sure how to fix this error based off of your post.
