ASP.NET WebAPI Get overloading

Question

Is it possible to have multiple Get methods with the same number of parameters? For example, I would like to have a Get(int) and a Get(string). I've tried experimenting with this, but it always seems to hit the Get(string) method and never the one with the int. So is it possible to make these two distinguishable?

Internally in the code base you can, but I've found it best to apply the Route attribute to the overloaded methods to define a different URL signature. — ColinM

Get method itself will not be used by developers(only in tests maybe). So I think more descriptive name will be more readable approach in case of API controller's method — Fabio

Yes you can do it but you have to specify different routes for each Get method.
