Seconded - grandparent post is way off with regard to ASP.NET MVC. See all the concrete classes of ActionMethodSelectorAttribute.

Man you're a life saver, I spent an entire afternoon researching this, and finally gave up after dozens of blogs said it was impossible.

Infact an article on stack overflow explained the whole situation as impossible so I gave up researching and wrote my own dispatcher.

OK thanks once again, got it work. Decided to keep using my previous dispatcher to handle webdav verbs, plus I've already written exception handlers and stuff. Great result for me :)

You can also use [HttpGet], [HttpDelete], [HttpPost], [HttpGet] attributes. Personal preference.

yeah but the problem he is having is that you'd need to have different a different method signature for each of these otherwise it won't compile, and he wants to have the same path/parameters for each, which is why you need to rename your method and then add the different attribute.

If your methods already have different parameters or a different name, you can just use the attributes like you state.
