    Adding MVC & Web Api folders and core reference to existing asp.net empty template project

    hii there!!! i am confused in this topic as i want to add mvc and web api to my existing .net project which has umbraco installed in it. As at the time of installing umbraco i didnt selected the mvc and web api folders from below figure so it wont have folder and references associated with both in my project.enter image description here

    now how can i install both of them into my umbraco installed .net web application project??

    i searched this and gone through solutions of installing it through nutget package but when installed mvc package it does not show the reference folders associated with it like App-start and global.asax.cs etc.. as below figure shows

    Hi there, why you would like to install MVC and Web API additionally? It's already included in the Umbraco app. You can always add App_Start folder directly from VS.

    Hi Ishan,

    You can right-click on the project (just above the "References" tree node) to add a new Folder or item. Pawel is right - the Web API config file would usually sit within a folder called "App_Start" along with routing and start-up configuration. You already have a Global.asax file in the root of your project.

    However - Umbraco allows you to create controllers that inherit UmbracoApiController (read more about it here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/routing/webapi/) which will open endpoints on /umbraco/api/ (although this can be route can be customised).

    I wouldn't get too stressed about not selecting the correct templates during the project set-up: sometimes it's harder sorting through and customising the provided patterns than it is just building your own :)

    Hope that helps a little.

    Cheers,

    Laura
