Complex type is getting null in a ApiController parameter

Question

I don´t know why my parameter \"ParametroFiltro Filtro\" is getting null, the other parameters \"page\" and \"pageSize\" is getting OK.

public class Parametr         


        

Answer 1

You are trying to send a complex object with GET method. The reason this is failing is that GET method can't have a body and all the values are being encoded into the URL. You can make this work by using [FromUri], but first you need to change your client side code:

$.ajax({
    url: fullUrl,
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: { Codigo: '_1', Descricao: 'TESTE', page: 1, pageSize: 10 },
    success: function (result) {
        alert(result.Data.length);
        self.Parametros(result.Data);
    }
});

This way [FromUri] will be able to pick up your complex object properties directly from the URL if you change your action method like this:

public PagedDataModel Get([FromUri]ParametroFiltro Filtro, int page, int pageSize)

Your previous approach would rather work with POST method which can have a body (but you would still need to use JSON.stringify() to format body as JSON).
