            {
                return new HttpResponseMessage()
                {
                   //Some code
                };
            }
        }
}

               { "FirstName ", "var1"},

               };
       using (var client = new HttpClient())
       {
           var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(objFileCloud);
           Result = client.DeleteAsync(URI, content).Result;
       }

Refer - HTTP Operations GET, POST, PUT and DELETE From .NET Client[^].

Read the section "Put and Delete Request Method".

API

C#

namespace WebAPI.Controllers
{
    public class person
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string surname { get; set; }        }
    public class personController : ApiController
    {
        [HttpPut]
        public void Put([FromBody] person p)
        {
        }
    }
}

Client App

C#

namespace ConsoleAPP
{
    public class person
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string surname { get; set; }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            {
                person p = new person { name = "Sourav", surname = "Kayal" };
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:1565/");
                var response = client.PutAsJsonAsync("api/person", p).Result;
                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    Console.Write("Success");
                }
                else
                    Console.Write("Error");
            }
        }
    }
}
