Where is the IHttpControllerFactory?

Question

The Microsoft website says that there is an IHttpControllerFactory that can be used to generate controllers in the usual way.

However, the System.Web.Http DLL referenced by Visual Studio is: \ Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core.4.0.20710.0 \ Lib \ net40 \ System.Web.Http.dll packages

Does not have this interface:

So where is the interface now?

config.DependencyResolver = new MyDependencyResolver();
