asp.net-apicontroller

Here are the simplified implementation details (scrubbed out business proprietary stuff). Can you someone point out what I'm overlooking? Custom exception filter: public class CustomExceptionFilter : ExceptionFilterAttribute { public override void OnException(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext) { actionExecutedContext.Response.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.NotFound; actionExecutedContext.Response.Content = new StringContent("...my

Can someone explain me when I should inherit my controller form ODataController vs ApiController ?

How should I change my data model so that the JSON serialization will work while maintaining the bi-directional quality of the Weed - WeedFamily relationship?
