Re: Web API Accept type

Is you tweak of the xml generic, ie. will happen to every xml response? If so I'd imagine the method would be to override the default xml serializer (or implement some interface) and tell web api to use your one instead of the default. Testing which one is active by any means just seems hacky. Or

IMO most .net devs won't really be happy doing any JS, via a library or not. We just want to do the .net code and leave the front end to someone else. Just like the Silverlight evangelists promised. Don't see that happening though. Everyone seems to want a full stack developer now...and I'm

That's what recruitment agencies typically ask for on a CV. I know how hard it can be when recruiters look for an "angular expert" but the only angular experience you have is some online videos. Hard to compete. Many devs lie on the CV actually to get the job, sometimes it works. On Tuesday, 7
