Yes. I would recommend you to go through this tutorial:
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/tutorial-your-first-web-api
The tutorial creates a ApiController called ProductsController which has actions that return different types.

Hey Maggie, the link does not help at all. This is what you can get from that tutorial
public class ProductsController : ApiController {
Product[] products = new Product[] { new Product { Id = 1, Name = "Tomato Soup", Category = "Groceries", Price = 1 }, new Product { Id = 2, Name = "Yo-yo", Category = "Toys", Price = 3.75M }, new Product { Id = 3, Name = "Hammer", Category = "Hardware", Price = 16.99M } };
public IEnumerable<Product> GetAllProducts() { return products; }
public Product GetProductById(int id) { var product = products.FirstOrDefault((p) => p.Id == id); if (product == null) { throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound); } return product; }
public IEnumerable<Product> GetProductsByCategory(string category) { return products.Where( (p) => string.Equals(p.Category, category, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)); } }
NO POST ACTION

Returning bool or any other serializable type from a POST action works just fine. Returning HttpResponseMessage is typically done so that you can also control the headers and status code in addition to the response content.
