{"message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'PUT'."}

I want to generate PUT and DELETE request using POSTMAN but I got following message from POSTMAN.

Even I have implemented all the suggestions given by ASP.NET site.

Below is Web API c# code:

 // PUT: api/Students/5
    [HttpPut]
    [ResponseType(typeof(void))]
    public IHttpActionResult PutStudent(decimal Enrollment_no, Student student)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return BadRequest(ModelState);
        }

        if (Enrollment_no != student.Enrollment_no)
        {
            return BadRequest();
        }

        db.Entry(student).State = EntityState.Modified;

        try
        {
            db.SaveChanges();
        }
        catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException)
        {
            if (!StudentExists(Enrollment_no))
            {
                return NotFound();
            }
            else
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

        return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent);
    }

Nothing has worked as I'm still getting a 405 response when trying to issue a "PUT" command against my Web API project.

you must be using any other verb rather than "PUT", check your code. — A_Sk, Feb 21 '18 at 13:01
You'll need to show us your Web API controller (or at least what methods you've defined) — Richard, Feb 21 '18 at 13:01
In order to use PUT your action method must have the attribute `[HttpPut]`. — Peter B, Feb 21 '18 at 13:02

Your back end api is only allowing GET and POST requests(see response header Allow ), hence to generate PUT/DELETE request API should add support for the same.

You can configure this by modifying web.config of your ASP.NET Web API. Try to find the following line:
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />

Replace it with:
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />

Please refer here for more information.

Did you also try to remove `WebDAVModule`? – mu88 Feb 22 '18 at 14:09 — mu88, Feb 22 '18 at 14:09
