Since which version of Visual Studio is ASP.NET Web API 2 available?

In particular I need the IHttpActionResult interface.

I could not find such information on Microsoft online documentation. I can only infer it has been introduced since VS 2013, but only because all the pages I saw had that as a minimum version.

  • As asp.net web api 2 is officially a [nuget package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi/) the only dependency is the running a version of visual studio that supports the minimum supported framework for web api 2 as well as being able to connect to nuget to retrieve the package. – Igor Sep 27 '16 at 15:08
  • @Igor - Do you know which this version is? – Pietro Sep 27 '16 at 15:12
  • http://stackoverflow.com/a/21572891/1260204. So probably any version of VS that supports .net 4.5 and later (vs 2012 and later). – Igor Sep 27 '16 at 15:15

You might have to install web tools to be able to develop against web api v2 though. See this previous SO answer.
