Create a RestFul Service in Visual Studio 2010

Question

Is there a way I can create a RestFul Service as part of my MVC 4 web application. I already have one ASP.net MVC4 web application. I can create a new project with VS2013 to write a new service. But I don't want to create a new project, is there a way to utilize the same existing project for this?

I am looking for service which uses Web API

Try this library for .NET https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack .

It is a free if you are using branch v3 form a github.

Take a look at OWIN and Katana. You can use it to set up webapi in your current MVC project. Here is an example How to do it.
