14.3. Working with the Built-In Controller Factory

For most applications, the built-in controller factory class, called DefaultControllerFactory, is entirely adequate. When it receives a request from the routing system, this factory looks at the routing data to find the value of the controller property (which we described in Chapter 11), and tries to find a class in the web application that meets the following criteria:

• The class must be public.

• The class must be concrete (not abstract).

• The class must not take generic parameters.

• The name of the class must end with Controller.

• The class must implement the IController interface.
