How do I mix Web API and ASP.Net MVC pages in one project?

For instance, I have model User. I would like, within the same project, to have an ApiController that would respond to all the HTTP verbs for managing the User entities, and at the same time have a Controller that would return the appropriate strongly-typed Views depending on the Action requested.

I can’t name both controllers UserController. What is the best way around this? Should I name one UserApiController and the other UserController? Any other suggestions?

    You can put them in separate namespaces, e.g MyApp.Controllers.UsersController and MyApp.Controllers.WebAPI.UsersController.

    This would let you expose similar URI routes in MVC and WebAPI, eg:

    /users/1      << MVC view
/api/users/1  << Web API
