c# - Web API actions to be distinguishable only by their parameter types? -

in asp.net web api, how can 2 actions, both routed same url , same http method, distingushable different parameter types?

i'd able post either single json object or json array of objects.

i'm expecting work this:

[httppost] public virtual object post([frombody]idictionary<string, object> values) {     //add new object collection }  [httppost] public virtual ienumerable<object> post([frombody] idictionary<string, object>[] array) {     return array.select(post); } 

however, if , attempt call either actions, error:

multiple actions found match request 

have @ attribute routing library. allows define routes each action in web api. has been packaged part of web api 2.0:

[post("first url here")] public virtual object post([frombody]idictionary<string, object> values) {     //add new object collection }  [post("second url here")] public virtual ienumerable<object> post([frombody] idictionary<string, object>[] array) {     return array.select(post); } 

this way able manually define routes each method.
