Trying to delete record but it is giving above error. Get is working o.k

public class EmployeesController: ApiController {
private PMDbEntities db = new PMDbEntities();
// GET: api/Employees
public IHttpActionResult GetEmployees() {
try {
var results = (from d in db.Employees join f in db.Departments on d.DepartmentId equals f.ID select new {
Id = d.ID, Name = d.Name, Department = f.Description
}).ToList();
if (results == null) {
return NotFound();
}
return Ok(results);
} catch (Exception) {
return BadRequest();
}
} // DELETE: api/Employees/5
[ResponseType(typeof (Employee))] public IHttpActionResult DeleteEmployee(int id) {
try {
Employee employee = db.Employees.Find(id);
if (employee == null) {
return Content(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "Employee not found");
} else {
db.Employees.Remove(employee);
db.SaveChanges();
return Ok(employee);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return BadRequest("Error Encountered : " + ex);
}
}
}

protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
RestClient restClient = new RestClient("http://localhost:40991/api/Employees/");
restClient.Timeout = -1;
RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.DELETE);
request.AddHeader("Id", lblId.Text);
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
IRestResponse result = restClient.Execute(request);
}

Secondly, I want to display return value from Api

Thanks

just change your url and it will start working
protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  RestClient restClient = new RestClient("http://localhost:40991/api/Employees/"+ Convert.ToInt32( lblId.Text));
  restClient.Timeout = -1;
  RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.DELETE);

  request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
  IRestResponse result = restClient.Execute(request);
}

Hi All

Still not working
Get statement works ok - http://localhost:40991/api/Employees/
When i write in PostMan with Get http://localhost:40991/api/Employees/1 this does not show any Data though Status is o.k

Try by changing api call as shown
protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  RestClient restClient = new RestClient("http://localhost:40991/api/Employees/DeleteEmployee?id=" + lblId.Text);
  restClient.Timeout = -1;
  RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
  request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
  IRestResponse result = restClient.Execute(request);
}

Hi,

1. Add Http Delete verb over DeleteEmployee() action.

2. Change header parameter "Id" to "id" .

3. Add action name in url
[Http.Delete]

public IHttpActionResult DeleteEmployee(int id){

}
protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

  RestClient restClient = new RestClient("http://localhost:40991/api/Employees/DeleteEmployee");

  restClient.Timeout = -1;

  RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.DELETE);

  request.AddHeader("id", lblId.Text);

  request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

  IRestResponse result = restClient.Execute(request);

}
