I'm creating an API using C# and ASP.NET Web API and I want it to return an error when a parameter is used that isn't recognised. For example: /api/Events should a list of events /api/Events?startTime={{startTime}} should return a list of events that started at a particular time /api/Events?someRandomInvalidParameter={{something}} should return an error Is there a nice config way to do this? If not, how can I get a list of parameters to check myself. You could create an ActionFilter to automate this: public class InvalidQueryStringRejectorAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { public override

I want to host my API on a separate domain. I have configured my auth-interceptor for token in angular with a bearer: config.headers.Authorization = 'Bearer ' + sessionStorage.getItem('token'); In my My WebApi2 I have configured the WebApiConfig with cors. var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("http://mydomain.com", "*", "*"); config.EnableCors(cors); And in web.config of the API I also included: <customHeaders> <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" /> </customHeaders> I still can´t access the api due to origin not allowed. Can I add something more in my header of the auth-interceptor

I am building a C# Web API using Entity Framework 6.0. I have the simplest User Class with 3 properties that I persist on SQL into a User Table with 3 corresponding columns where UserID is its the Primary Key. public partial class User { public string UserID {get; set;} public string FirstName {get; set;} public string LastName {get; set;} } I want to add to the Web API two output-only properties on the fly that I do not care to store in my DB. I use these properties to communicate to the consuming client "Status" and "Message" information that are not part of the User Class. Status = OK|Error
