打开VS2012->FILE->New->Project->Web->ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application, 修改名字为WebAPIApplication, 单击OK, 在Project Template中选择Web API,单击OK.

2）添加Controller Template选择Empty API controller名字为StudentValueController.cs代码如下

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

    public class StudentValueController : ApiController

        /// <param name="name">姓名</param>

                if (stuName != null)
                {

                        .Where(u => u.stuName.Contains(stuName)).ToList();
                }

                        .Where(u => u.stuAddress.Contains(stuAddress)).ToList();
                }
                return items;
            }

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                        .FirstOrDefault(u => u.stuId == id);
                    newItem.stuName = item.stuName;
                    newItem.stuAddress = item.stuAddress;
                    dcdc.SubmitChanges();
                    return newItem;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)

        /// <returns>删除成功返回true, 否则返回false</returns>  
        [HttpDelete]
        public bool DeleteStudent(int id)
        {
            try
            {
                using (DataClassesDataContext dcdc = new DataClassesDataContext())
                {
                    StudentInfo item = dcdc.StudentInfos
                        .FirstOrDefault(u => u.stuId.Equals(id));
                    dcdc.StudentInfos.DeleteOnSubmit(item);
                    dcdc.SubmitChanges();
                    return true;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}  

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

namespace MvcApplication2
{
    public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );
        }
    }
}

4）用Firefox RESTClient测试编写的API

提示：在Body中添加json数据时请在Headers中添加Content-Type: application/json
