Do you have to install the REST starter kit in asp.net to access APIs?
- by jonhobbs
Hi,
I'm currently trying to access a REST API for the first time using visual web developer 2008 express edition.
Every article I have found says you have to install the WCF REST starter kit which is a .msi file, which would suggest that I have to install it on my machine and presumably our server too.
My question is this. Is there a non installable version that I can use, e.g. just by dropping DLLs into the Bin directory and then using the classes contained. Or is there more to it than that and am I just getting very confused about how it works?
