RESTful Webservice since VS 2015

Question

I would like to create a RESTful web service with writing C # and Visual Studio 2015

But in the editors of the VS 2015 community, I am missing the basic "Web" type in the templates.

What is the recommended project type for creating web services now?

Answer 1

You need to choose this project:

ASP.NET Web Application

When you click OK, you will get an additional window asking you for the exact type of web application.

Select the web interface and the web service will be ready.

Answer 2

If you select the checkbox in the "File => New Project" drop-down list, make sure that the version of the .NET Framework is at least 4.5. There should be a list that includes the ASP.NET web application. Clicking on this should open another dialog box with templates to create a web API solution.

Answer 3

You can create RESTful Services using WCF services. And use WebApi to download and install the latest version of ASP.NET mvc.
