I would like to use WebAPI for an existing project of mine (classic ASP.NET), but as far as I can tell you can only use WebAPI with MVC.

Is it possible to use WebAPI with ASP.NET?

    From the linked page:

    Although ASP.NET Web API is packaged with ASP.NET MVC, it is easy to
    add Web API to a traditional ASP.NET Web Forms application. This
    tutorial walks you through the steps.

    To use Web API in a Web Forms application, there are two main steps:

    Add a Web API controller that derives from the ApiController class.
    Add a route table to the Application_Start method. Create a Web Forms
    Project

    Start Visual Studio 2010 and select New Project from the Start page.
    Or, from the File menu, select New and then Project.

    In the Templates pane, select Installed Templates and expand the
    Visual C# node. Under Visual C#, select Web. In the list of project
    templates, select ASP.NET Web Application. Enter a name for the
    project and click OK.
