Reading FromUri and FromBody at the same time
asp.net, asp.net-web-api, c#, frombodyattribute, http-post
Solution
A post body is typically a URI string like this:
Message=foobar&TestingMode=true
You have to make sure that the HTTP header contains
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
EDIT: Because it's still not working, I created a full example myself. It prints the correct data. I also used .NET 4.5 RC.
// server-side
public class ValuesController : ApiController {
[HttpPost]
public string PushMessage([FromUri] string x, [FromUri] string y, [FromBody] Person p) {
return p.ToString();
}
}
public class Person {
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public override string ToString() {
return this.Name + ": " + this.Age;
}
}
// client-side
public class Program {
private static readonly string URL = "http://localhost:6299/api/values/PushMessage?x=asd&y=qwe";
public static void Main(string[] args) {
NameValueCollection data = new NameValueCollection();
data.Add("Name", "Johannes");
data.Add("Age", "24");
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.UploadValuesCompleted += UploadValuesCompleted;
client.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
Task t = client.UploadValuesTaskAsync(new Uri(URL), "POST", data);
t.Wait();
}
private static void UploadValuesCompleted(object sender, UploadValuesCompletedEventArgs e) {
Console.WriteLine(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(e.Result));
}
}
Problem
I have a new method in web api ``` [HttpPost] public ApiResponse PushMessage( [FromUri] string x, [FromUri] string y, [FromBody] Request Request) ``` where request class is like ``` public class Request { public string Message { get; set; } public bool TestingMode { get; set; } } ``` I'm making a query to localhost/Pusher/PushMessage?x=foo&y=bar with PostBody: ``` { Message: "foobar" , TestingMode:true } ``` Am i missing something?
