• HttpPut: The controller method respond to PUT
• ActionName: The following function will be invoke only when the action will be equals to the action name.

Validation and Scaffolding

These attributes are used for the automatic validation of the fields. They work exactly as in Asp.Net MVC

• Required: The field is required
• StringLength: Specify the min/max length of the field
• Range: Specify the min/max value of the numeric data
• RegularExpression: Validate against a regex

The following attributes are used with the scaffolding mechanism. They work exactly as in Asp.Net MVC

• DataType: Create a field that is spcific for the given data type (e.g. email, password etc). This will be used for the DisplayFor,EditorFor and EditorForModel methods
• Display/DisplayName: Specify the label to show for the propery
• ScaffoldColumn: If set to false the property will not be created in the scaffolding inside the EditorForModel.

Some filter for authorization and security is present. They work exactly as in Asp.Net MVC

• ShouldBeLocal: Requests allowed only from localhost on the controller
