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
Fix: The MvcOptions takes in a list of ExcludeFromValidationDelegate (Func<Type,bool>). This func verifies if the type is excluded in validation or not.
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.
