The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed. WCF REST Service

This question is already asked elsewhere but those things are not the solutions for my issue.

This is my service

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = "POST")]
public SampleItem Create(SampleItem instance)
{
    // TODO: Add the new instance of SampleItem to the collection
    // throw new NotImplementedException();
    return new SampleItem();
}

I have this code to call the above service

XElement data = new XElement("SampleItem",
                             new XElement("Id", "2"),
                             new XElement("StringValue", "sdddsdssd")
                           ); 

System.IO.MemoryStream dataSream1 = new MemoryStream();
data.Save(dataSream1);

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:2517/Service1/Create");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
// You need to know length and it has to be set before you access request stream
request.ContentLength = dataSream1.Length;

using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
    dataSream1.CopyTo(requestStream);
    byte[] bytes = dataSream1.ToArray();
    requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, Convert.ToInt16(dataSream1.Length));
    requestStream.Close();
}

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

I get an exception at the last line:

The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed. Not sure why this is happening i tried changing the host from VS Server to IIS also but no change in result. Let me know if u need more information
