c# – 如何在MVC4项目中调用/引用外部web api项目

Web Api Project Side,
?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Data;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;
using AttributeRouting.Web.Mvc;
using RegisterStudent_WebAPI.Models;

    namespace Register_Student_WebAPI.Controllers 
    {
        public class RegisterStudentController : ApiController
        {
            [Route("api/student")]
            [HttpGet]
            public IEnumerable<Student> GetStudents()
            {
                RegisterStudent_API_DB objRegisterStudent = new RegisterStudent_API_DB();
                List<Student> lstStudent = objRegisterStudent.GetStudent();
                return lstStudent ;
            }
        } }

来自API的WEB.Config文件,

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.Http;


namespace RegisterStudent_WebAPI
{
    public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {


            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );

            // Uncomment the following line of code to enable query support for actions with an IQueryable or IQueryable<T> return type.
            // To avoid processing unexpected or malicious queries,use the validation settings on QueryableAttribute to validate incoming queries.
            // For more information,visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=279712.
            //config.EnableQuerySupport();

            // To disable tracing in your application,please comment out or remove the following line of code
            // For more information,refer to: http://www.asp.net/web-api
            config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing();


            config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html"));
        }
    }
}

在MVC项目中我已经在脚本标签(在加载表单上)编写了以下代码来引用WEB API服务,

$(document).ready(function () {   
        jQuery.support.cors = true;
        $.ajax({
            url: 'http://localhost:18715/api/student',type: 'GET',dataType: 'json',success: function (data) {
                alert('success');
            },error: function (x) {
                alert(x.status);
            }
        });
    });

如果我将Web API项目的引用添加到MVC项目然后它工作正常但我的一个朋友告诉服务不应该被这样引用,请指导我如何引用/包含运行web api项目的托管/跨域项目到我的MVC项目？
