The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'

I have a Web API where I have more than one get method in the controller. One of the controller methods returns true or flas - used as a validation of employee id

Below is my code:

My repository class:

    public class myRepository
    {
    
    	public myClasses.Type[] GetAllTypes()
    	{
    
    		return new myClasses.Type[]
    		{
    			new myClasses.Type 
    			{
    				typeId="1",
    				typeVal = "New"
    			},
    			new myClasses.Type 
    			{
    				typeId="2",
    				typeVal = "Old"
    			}
    	   };
    
    	}
    
    	public myClasses.Employee[] GetAllEmployees()
    	{
    
    		return new myClasses.Employee[]
    		{
    			new myClasses.Employee 
    			{
    				empId="111111",
    				empFName = "Jane",
    				empLName="Doe"
    			},
    			new myClasses.Employee 
    			{
    				empId="222222",
    				empFName = "John",
    				empLName="Doe"
    			}
    	   };
       
    	}
    
    	public bool VerifyEmployeeId(string id)
    	{
    
    		myClasses.Employee[] emp = new myClasses.Employee[]
    		{
    			new myClasses.Employee 
    			{
    				empId="111111",
    				empFName = "Jane",
    				empLName="Doe"
    			},
    			new myClasses.Employee 
    			{
    				empId="222222",
    				empFName = "John",
    				empLName="Doe"
    			}
    	   };
    
    		for (var i = 0; i <= emp.Length - 1; i++)
    		{
    			if (emp[i].empId == id)
    				return true;
    		}
    		return false;
    	}
    }

Select allOpen in new window

and my model class:

    public class myClasses
    {

        public class Employee
        {
            public string empId { get; set; }
            public string empFName { get; set; }
            public string empLName { get; set; }
        }

        public class Type
        {
            public string typeId { get; set; }
            public string typeVal { get; set; }
        }
    }

Select allOpen in new window

and here is my controller:

	public class myClassesController : ApiController
    {
		private myRepository empRepository;

        public myClassesController()
        {
            this.empRepository = new myRepository();
        }
        
        public myClasses.Type[] GetTypes()
        {
            return empRepository.GetAllTypes();
        }

        public myClasses.Employee[] GetEmployees()
        {
            return empRepository.GetAllEmployees();
        }

		public bool VerifyEmployee(string id)
        {
            return empRepository.VerifyEmployeeId(string id);
        }
    }

Select allOpen in new window

Everything compiles fine but when I run it using

    http://localhost:49358/api/myClasses/GetTypes

Select allOpen in new window

and that returns all the data in xml format. But when I run

    http://localhost:49358/api/myClasses/VerifyEmployee/222222

Select allOpen in new window

I get an error "The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'"



My WebAPIConfig:

    public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });

            // Uncomment the following line of code to enable query support for actions with an IQueryable or IQueryable<T> return type.
            // To avoid processing unexpected or malicious queries, use the validation settings on QueryableAttribute to validate incoming queries.
            // For more information, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=279712.
            //config.EnableQuerySupport();

            // To disable tracing in your application, please comment out or remove the following line of code
            // For more information, refer to: http://www.asp.net/web-api
            config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing();
        }
    }

Select allOpen in new window

Can anyone point me in the right direction? What am I doing wrong here? Are there better ways to do validations against data via Web API?
