    <p>I've looked through <a href="http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/routing-and-action-selection" rel="nofollow">this document</a> on MSDN and can't come up with the answer.</p> <p>Considering that I have a route defined like this:</p> <pre><code> config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultWithActionAndID", routeTemplate: "v{version}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: null, constraints: new { action = @"[a-zA-Z]+", id = @"\d+" } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultWithID", routeTemplate: "v{version}/{controller}/{id}", defaults: null, constraints: new { id = @"\d+" } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultWithoutActionOrId", routeTemplate: "v{version}/{controller}", defaults: null, ); </code></pre> <p>Now I have two controllers that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>public class ItemController:ApiController{ [HttpGet] public Item Get(int id){} [HttpGet] public Item GetSomething(int id){} [HttpPut] public Item Put(Item newItem){} } public class AnotherController:ApiController{ [HttpPut] public HttpResponseMessage Put(Something item){} } </code></pre> <p>I'd like to be able to call all of these endpoints like this:</p> <pre><code>GET /api/Item/344 GET /api/Item?id=344 GET /api/Item/Something/2334 GET /api/Item/Something?id=2334 PUT /api/Item body={newItem} PUT /api/Another body={newSomething} </code></pre> <p>This will work, but only if I add "Get" as the default action name. If I do not specify a default action name in my route, then it complains about multiple matching action names. If I do add the default action name, then I cannot call PUT to the Put() method without an error because the action name doesn't match the default and isn't found.</p> <pre><code> // Will work in some cases, but not all config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultWithID", routeTemplate: "v{version}/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { action="Get", id=RouteParameters.Optional }, constraints: new { id = @"\d+" } ); // Works GET /api/Item/344 GET /api/Item?id=344 GET /api/Item/Something/2334 GET /api/Item/Something?id=2334 // Doesn't work PUT /api/Item body={newItem} PUT /api/Another body={newSomething} </code></pre> <p>How can I tell Routing to use the Action with the name that matches my HTTP Verb, if one exists before trying to use </p>

    3. COUpdated the question with more details of failing cases. The problem seems to be that routing doesn't have an extra level of priority (looking for method names that match the HTTP Verb or `{verb}{controller}` pattern like MVC does). Actually, a `{verb}` token would be quite a nice addition.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
