RestSharp RestRequest with Paramaters not working

I'm making a call to a web api. Exmaple is supposed to retrieve every organisation with the letter 'a' in the name. This is the url, and it works directly against the web api http://localhost/GMSWebServices/api/Organisations/get?name=a

If i hard code the Source into my calling function like this

        RestRequest request = new RestRequest("Organisations/Get?Name=a");
        // set the response data format
        request.RequestFormat = ReturnFormat;

       var response = _restClient.Execute<List<string>>(request);

This works fine. But when i use the format where the source is a variable and paramaters are added differently eg

string Source = "Organisations";
RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Source, Method.GET);
        // set the response data format
        request.RequestFormat = ReturnFormat;
        //provide any paramaters
        foreach (RestSharp.Parameter p in WebParamaters)
        {
            request.AddParameter(p);
        }
var response = _restClient.Execute<List<string>>(request);

It does not work.

Am i using the Paramaters in the correct way? And do i need to append "/Get" to the end of my Source I assumed the Method.Get took care of that.

How should i be calling the source Get method with the paramaters in my list ? What should my routing template look like for each method to work ?

Ok ..so I couldn't get AddParameter to work but then I changed it to AddQueryParameter and it worked.

I had a look at the Restshapr documentation but I'm unsure why one works and the other doesn't.

I'm calling a .net web api service but it ignores the Parameters property in the RestSharp request object. Maybe web api doesn't support this method of sending parameters.

You have to append "/get", the Method.GET only specify the request type, and doesn't add anything to url, (because sometimes you want a get method requesting a url that doesn't have "get" in it).

The usage of parameters seems right, so just change to that:

string Source = "Organisations/get";

or if you use Source in other places without get:

RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Source + "/get", Method.GET);
