This also comes with a rename of the namespace
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModel to
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModels.
Also tuned up some parameter and variable names for increased
understandability.
This change modifies the default parameter binding behavior for an
ApiController to use the WebAPI rules.
'simple types' default to use route data or query string
'complex types' default to use the body (formatters)
Adds ModelBindingAttribute to enabled model binding
Adds the set of CreateResponse/CreateErrorResponse extension methods that
return an HttpResponseMessage.
For the overloads that perform content negotiation they will access the
collection of MediaTypeFormatters through the shim options. Note that
CreateResponse and friends use the OLD formatters.
Also, HttpError and CreateErrorResponse assume ErrorDetail == false. Using
the shim you will not get detailed error messages unless you construct the
HttpError instance yourself.
This change adds a .Request property to the ApiController class that can
be used to access an HttpRequestMessage wrapping the HttpContext.
The HttpRequestMessage is stored in an http feature to make it accessible
to model binders and other infrastructure.
This change adds ApplicationModel conventions that can enable WebAPI
action conventions (verb mapping) and WebAPI overloading.
The conventions activate when a controller has a marker attribute.
ApiController has this attribute, so any ported code will automatically
opt-in.
Also ported some old tests for action selection to our new functional test
framework.
This change includes the basic properties that we're providing for
compatability as well as some functional tests and unit tests that verify
that ApiController can be a controller class.
