Q:

Web Api Understanding

I was wondering how Do I pass a string as a paramter and how .net determines which get is applied and returned. 
I am trying 
 http://localhost:55304/api/WebPortal/Get/System. WorkItem. Incident

But its not working just get a resource is not found.  The below is in my WebPortal Controller. 
   private WebPortEnterpriseManagementDa _da = new WebPortEnterpriseManagementDa();
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }

    public ManagedType Get(string name)
    {

        ManagedType items = _da. GetManagedType(name);

        return items;
    }

A:

One way is to append a parameter to the URL:
url + "&name=" + param;
