  1. Hi Ali Kheyrollahi,
    Thank you this series of blogs are really good.

    I was reading doc about the new WEB API and also create my own web services using the HttpHandler. However I dont know what could be the best and solid approach for a good solution. I have the bad experience with Microsoft and LINQ that no everything which shine is gold. So what do you think about that?
    Thank you
    I read this article

    1. That is really old stuff. If you can use ASP.NET Web API then best is not to re-invent the wheel. Web API has taken care of so much and best sticking to it.

      Best is to start looking through the Microsoft sample here:
      http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Contact-Manager-Web-API-0e8e373d

      This should give you an idea of how to do basic CRUD in Web API.
