I have a web api controller in my project, as follows

```
public class EmployeeController : ApiController
{
    static readonly IEmployeeRepository repository = new EmployeeRepository();
    // GET api/<controller>
    [HttpGet]
    public object Get()
    {
        var queryString = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString;
        var data = repository.GetAll().ToList();
        return new { Items = data, Count = data.Count() };
    }

    public Employee GetEmployee(int id)
    {
        Employee emp = repository.Get(id);
        if (emp == null)
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
        }
        return emp;
    }

    // POST api/<controller>
    public HttpResponseMessage PostEmployee(Employee emp)
    {
        emp = repository.Add(emp);
        var response = Request.CreateResponse<Employee>(HttpStatusCode.Created, emp);

        string uri = Url.Link("Employee", new { id = emp.EmployeeID });
        response.Headers.Location = new Uri(uri);
        return response;
    }
     [HttpPut]
    // PUT api/<controller>
    public void PutEmployee(Employee emp)
    {

        if (!repository.Update(emp))
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
        }

    }
    [HttpDelete]
     public void DeleteEmployee(int id)
    {
        Employee emp = repository.Get(id);
        if (emp == null)
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
        }

        repository.Remove(id);
    }
}

```

For me, get and post method getting triggered correctly 

But, Delete Method is not getting triggered. 

and my Webapicongif.cs

```
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "Employee",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );
        //config.EnableQuerySupport();
    }

```

and the global.cs file as follows

```
    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
        Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
        FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);

        GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);

        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

    }

```

once i did the delete to the Employee
