ASP.NET WebApi Custom Serialization

I have an action method which returns a DataRow object. Unfortunately the webapi serializer doesn't serialize the object properly. Is there any place where I can place a custom serialization code just for this particular type ?

You'll probably want to create a custom MediaTypeFormatter that returns true for DataRow-typed objects in its CanWrite method.

Here's a good starting point for how to write and register your own formatter:
