Using CreateResponse

gistfile1.cs

public class Person : IApiResource
{
    public int Id { get; set; } //whatever property is going to be used in the Get(int id) method in PeopleController
	
	public void SetLocation(ResourceLocation location)
	{
		location.SetInController<PeopleController>(x => x.Get(Id));		
	}
}

// In the controller

public class PeopleController : ApiController
{
   public HttpResponseMessage<Person> Create(Person person)
   {
		_repository.Save(person);
		
		return new CreateResponse(person);
   }
}

// this should result in a response:
HTTP 1.1 201 Created
//other headers
