Restful web service Endpoint not found

Question

I am trying to build a basic REST web service that simply returns the current time and whenever I try to I get the following error whenever I try to call my service http://localhost:PORT/TimeService/CurrentTime:

Endpoint not found. Please see the service help page for constructing valid requests to the service.

What am I doing wrong? Below you can find all the code I am using. Thank You

Service1.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WcfRestService1
{
    [ServiceContract]
    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
    [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
    public class TimeService
    {
        [WebGet(UriTemplate = "CurrentTime")]
        public string CurrentTime()
        {
            return DateTime.Now.ToString();
        }
    }
}

Global.asax

using System;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Routing;

namespace WcfRestService1
{
    public class Global : HttpApplication
    {
        void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RegisterRoutes();
        }

        private static void RegisterRoutes()
        {
            RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("TimeService",
                new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(TimeService)));
        }
    }
}

This is one of the best articles I found when I first started learning rest; I wish I was at work now I have the exact TimeService example but I just Googled and could not find the same code.

Tomorrow from work I will post a working example if you still need it.
