Routing in Web Api in ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I am using web api with ASP.NET MVC 4.

I have the following named controller

• CustomerController : Controller
• CustomerApiController : ApiController

You could extend DefaultHttpControllerSelector and override GetControllerName to apply a custom rule. The default implementation just returns the value of the "controller" variable from the route data. A custom implementation could map this to some other value. See Routing and Action Selection.
