webapi - a most terrible thing.

Is there any way to overwrite the routes in webapi project?
I want to override all of the wonderful methods in the Global.asax.cs

Wish M$ had paid more attention to someone developing a pure webapi project.

AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

Yes? When I get into work maybe I'll look up how we did it...

Thanks! I hope you have plunged into the code and removed its guts and replaced them. Those are the things I like to do a lot.
Confusion over Convention over configuration!

From what I've heard, they made it harder to do pure WebAPI in .NET Core as it's more tightly coupled with MVC now.

I haven't used WebAPI in .NET Core, so I can't verify the accuracy of this.

Ah, no. There's a "special" controller that overrides the base path:

and each method is decorated with what route is expected:
