I am working on a simple web service which uses Northwind database. When I tried to run this, I get the following error:

Request format is unrecognized.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is unrecognized.

Source Error:

Stack Trace:

Can someone help me with this? Thanks
