c# - Web api access controller method from another controller method -

i have 2 different controller --> controller a,controller b

and have different methods each controller , return values ihttpactionresult (method controller ,method b , controller b)

how can access controller method , take content controller

controller b ,and inside method b

ihttpactionresult result = controllera.methoda() 

and want read result.content inside controller b

i consider using common base class 2 controllers (if there method want use on both)

for example

public class abstract mybasecontroller {     public void commonmethod()     {         // here     } } 

then use them like

public class controllera : mybasecontroller {     public void methoda()     {         base.commonmethod();          // else     } }  public class controllerb : mybasecontroller {     public void methodb()     {         base.commonmethod();          // else     } }
