c# - How to create multiple POST methods on an Azure Mobile Service? -

i have azure mobile service multiple controllers. 1 of controllers (testsetcontroller) has methods check on insert.

problem need solve: testset table has 2 different types of testsets, 1 local team , field team. table contains data both , records differentiated "teamtype" field says if local team inserted testset or field team did. on insert want check if similar testset exists inserted other team. want compare testsets (if found) other inserts/updates on same table if testsets different.

however, keep getting error:

exception=system.invalidoperationexception: multiple actions found match request:  posttestsetdto on type sbp_ctservice.controllers.testsetcontroller checkfordiscrepancy on type sbp_ctservice.controllers.testsetcontroller comparetestpointattempts on type sbp_ctservice.controllers.testsetcontroller    @ system.web.http.controllers.apicontrolleractionselector.actionselectorcacheitem.selectaction(httpcontrollercontext controllercontext)    @ system.web.http.controllers.apicontrolleractionselector.selectaction(httpcontrollercontext controllercontext)    @ system.web.http.apicontroller.executeasync(httpcontrollercontext controllercontext, cancellationtoken cancellationtoken)    @ system.web.http.dispatcher.httpcontrollerdispatcher.<sendasync>d__1.movenext(), id=f07761ae-1be7-4f00-90b0-685dd0c108f3, category='app.request' 

here's controller:

    public class testsetcontroller : tablecontroller<testsetdto>     {         private context context;          protected override void initialize(httpcontrollercontext controllercontext)         {             base.initialize(controllercontext);             context = new context();             domainmanager = new simplemappedentitydomainmanager<testsetdto, testset>(context, request, services, testset => testset.id);         }          // tables/testset         [queryableexpand("testpointattempts")]         public iqueryable<testsetdto> getalltestsetdto()         {             return query();

i'm using data transfer objects (dtos) map between entity models. appreciated. i've looked @ different answers on stackoverflow asp.net talk updating config.routes. azure mobile service might have different requirements simple asp.net website though.

it simple making 2 methods private , leaving actual post method public. asp.net make routes automatically public methods.
