Question

I am hitting the controller the controller with the following url :

"http://localhost/api/controller/1/2"

In the controller I have the following methods:

[HttpPost]
public void PostMethod2(string a,string b)

[HttpPost]    
public void PostMethod()

The controller is actually hitting the PostMethod() but I dont know how to read the parameter values 1 and 2.

Is there any other better way of calling it?

You can add your custom route for this method in Global.asax.cs

routes.MapRoute("PostMethod2",
                "api/mycontroller/{a}/{b}",
                new { contorller = "mycontroller", action="PostMethod2"}
            );

Or if you’re using ASP.NET MVC Web Api you can hook your route in RouteConfig.cs in App_Start folder like so:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "PostMethod2",
                routeTemplate: "api/mycontroller/{a}/{b}",
            );
