C# WebApi Base Controller Classes

Every Custom C# WebApi Controller inherits from a base class. depending on the base class, the APIs and features in the template will change.

Tip

This is basically identical with the C# base classes , just with slightly different names.

Because of this, we're not repeating the entire text here, but just listing the class names.

Typed / Strong-Typed for v16+

These are the recommended Typed C# base classes to inherit today:

  1. Custom.Hybrid.ApiTyped - new in v16

Older Base Classes (Dynamic)

These are the older - Dynamic base classes - not recommended for new development, but still supported for backwards compatibility.

  1. Custom.Hybrid.Api14 - new in v14
  2. Custom.Hybrid.Api12 - new in v12
  3. Custom.Dnn.Api12 - v12; same as Hybrid, but with Dnn property

C# WebApi Controllers Classes Which Don't Inherit

If you don't specify a base class, the class will behave as a standard, new class. This will probably just not work.
