How to access the database from the api controller?

I am doing a mobile app with Angular and MVC. I am doing my app calling some dummy data from the json model in the web api. Check my code below:

 private IEnumerable<JsonModel> events = new JsonModel[]
    {
       new JsonModel {Id = 1, Title = "title1"}
       new JsonModel {Id = 2, Title = "title2"}
      };


        // GET api/<controller>
        public IEnumerable<JsonModel> Get()
        {
            return events;
        }

        // GET api/<controller>/5
        public JsonModel Get(int id)
        {
            return events.FirstOrDefault(e => e.Id == id );
        }

What I want to do now is to connect my project to the real database. How can I do that?

Configuring access to the database file itself can be also the source of your isssue, look here: Configuring Permissions for an Access Database

As the ZenCoder mentioned, there are lots of ways to access your database, one of them is the repository pattern, here's some info about it:

This is one of the most famous patterns used nowadays and when working with the asp.net mvc framework is used with the Entity Framework. Here's a nice tutorial which explains how to use it with the ASP.NET Web Api2:

any question just let me know.
