REST kit for .Net?

Question

I just started to explore RESTful service by using .Net C#. At CodePlex, there is WCF REST Startkit available. I watched several Screen-casts by Pluralsight. The demos are very cool but they are based on the Startkit Preview 1.

I downloaded the newest version of Preview 2. It looks like that some classes such as Service.basic.svc.cs is not available. Service.basic.svc.cs provides open codes so that you can change its implementation, endpoint templates, help descriptions and others. This missing part makes it hard to customize my templates, implementations and help descriptions. Maybe the new Preview 2 have a different structure o alternative ways to achieve the same results. However, I just cannot find any further information about those.

Anyway, WCF REST Startkit is still in preview version. Not sure when the final release will be available and not sure if it will be free and open.

Does anyone have experience with the Preview 2 and knows those changes and alternatives? Or is there other REST library (open source based) for .Net or ASP.NET?

Answer 1

It works fine for me with Preview 2. However I've heard of cases where if the install fails quietly then you need to uninstall and reinstall the starter kit.

namespace MySimpleService {
    // TODO: Modify the service behavior settings (instancing, concurrency etc) based on the service's requirements. Use ConcurrencyMode.Multiple if your service implementation
    //       is thread-safe.
    // TODO: NOTE: Please set IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults to false in production environments.
    [ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true, InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Single)]
    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
    public class Service : AtomPubServiceBase, IAtomPubService {
        // TODO: These variables are used by the sample implementation. Remove if needed
        #region variables used in sample implementation
        const string xxx= "xxxx";
        List<SyndicationItem> booksmarkEntries = new List<SyndicationItem>();
        Dictionary<string, byte[]> collection1MediaItems = new Dictionary<string, byte[]>();
        Dictionary<string, string> collection1ContentTypes = new Dictionary<string, string>();
        #endregion

        public Service() {
            AddEntry("Main", "http:
