SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a clear, pattern-driven blueprint for implementing ASP.NET MVC 5 and Web API 2 on the .NET Framework, avoiding ASP.NET Core patterns and ensuring correct separation of concerns.

Core Features & Use Cases

Clear separation of Web API controllers and MVC controllers within legacy projects.
Deterministic routing: Web API routes are configured before MVC routes to prevent API paths from being swallowed.
Comprehensive guidance on configuration, DI, filters, and error handling for stable, maintainable apps.
Use cases include enterprise applications migrating from older frameworks or maintaining large .NET Framework projects with strict routing rules.

FAQPage Schema

Why do my ASP.NET Web API 2 routes get swallowed by MVC 5 controllers?▼

ASP.NET Web API 2 routes get swallowed when RouteConfig is registered before WebApiConfig. Register WebApiConfig first to ensure api/ endpoints resolve correctly and prevent MVC 5 from intercepting API paths.

How do I configure dependency injection for legacy ASP.NET MVC 5 and Web API 2 projects?▼

Configure dependency injection in legacy ASP.NET MVC 5 and Web API 2 projects by applying pattern-driven blueprints. This enforces proper separation of concerns, global configuration, and maintainable project structure for .NET Framework enterprise apps.

Can I use ASP.NET Core patterns when maintaining .NET Framework Web API 2 applications?▼

No, you should not use ASP.NET Core patterns when maintaining .NET Framework Web API 2 applications. This guide avoids ASP.NET Core patterns, providing a clear blueprint for proper separation of concerns specific to legacy .NET Framework projects.

What is the best way to separate MVC 5 controllers and Web API 2 controllers in a legacy enterprise app?▼

The best way to separate MVC 5 and Web API 2 controllers in legacy enterprise apps is using deterministic routing configurations. This pattern-driven approach ensures clear separation of concerns and stable, maintainable project structure.

How do I set up global filters and error handling for ASP.NET MVC 5 applications?▼

Set up global filters and error handling for ASP.NET MVC 5 applications through comprehensive configuration guidance. This enforces stable, maintainable apps by applying proper routing order, dependency injection, and global configuration patterns.
