Can you check to ensure that the HttpPut attribute that you are referencing is coming from System.Web.Http or you can consider using a
workaround like the one mentioned here which involves using the [PUT] attribute along with the route :
[PUT("some/url"), HttpPut]
public string Method2() {}
Error 2 'ContactManager.Controllers.ContactController.PUT(int, ContactManager.Models.Contact)' is a 'method' but is used like a 'type' C:\Users\stula1289\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\Controllers\ContactController.cs
72 10 ContactManager
Your controller action method expects parameter id in the url. Also it is good practice to add [FromBody] for contact parameter like this
[HttpPatch]
[HttpPut]
public HttpResponseMessage PUT(int id,[FromBody]Contact contact)
{
contact.ID = id;
if(!contactRepository.Update(contact))
{
throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
}
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
Now try to access Web Api with following code
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
// Create object of Contact and set properties
Contact contact = new Contact () ;
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:58745/");
var response = client.PutAsJsonAsync("api/ControllerName/10", contact).Result;
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string responseString = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
}
}

PUT method not supported
Aug 27, 2015 11:40 AM|sumittuladhar|LINK
I am trying to test my Rest Web API through postman. I got the error
"Message": "The requested resource does not support http method 'PUT'."
[HttpPatch] [HttpPut] public HttpResponseMessage PUT(int id,Contact contact) { contact.ID = id; if(!contactRepository.Update(contact)) { throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound); } return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK); }I have define Put method in my controller. Why am I getting this error?
"Message": "The requested resource does not support http method 'PUT'."

Hi sumittuladhar,
Did you register route when application start?
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } );Best Regards,
Wang Li
