Hi Mohsin, Void Any Entity/Datatype HttpResponseMessage - When Web API return type is HttpResponseMessage , Web API converts the return value directly into an HTTP response message. IHttpActionResult - HttpActionResult is introduced in Web API 2, IHttpActionResult interface acts like a factory for HttpResponseMessage .
