Return an error when invalid parameters are specified in ASP Web API

Question

I\'m creating an API using C# and ASP.NET Web API and I want it to return an error when a parameter is used that isn\'t recognised.

For example:

/api/Eve

I think you should be override methods
Example:

[Route("/app/Events/{startTime})"]
public ApiResponse Get(string startTime)
{
}

[Route("/app/Events/{startTime}/{someRandomeInvalid}")]
public ApiResponse Get(string startTime, string someRandomeInvalid)
{
}

Don't set explicit parameters name. You should be manage/check by order of parameter
