I know its not a big issue to resolve ,But i am facing problem to consume web api in asp.net MVC web api.

I am getting below error:
"XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://192.168.1.71:800/api/IzoGlass/ToolLocationData. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:58469' is therefore not allowed access".

I've searched and find solution but not working fine with my application.

Description :-When i am consuming web api from same domain in my application its working fine.

but whenever i am consuming webapi from other domain its throwing error. given above.

What I have tried:

I've used this code inside webapi.config file.

var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("http://192.168.1.71", "*", "*");
config.EnableCors(cors);

Enabling Cross-Origin Requests in ASP.NET Web API 2 | The ASP.NET Site[^]

The origin you need to enable is the address of the client, so "http://localhost:58469" in your case, not 192.168.1.71, or you could use a * to enable all origins which might be useful as a test but maybe not ideal for production use. However you wouldn't want to code your webapi to your dev webserver address either as that will change.
