web-api POST body object always null

Question

I\'m still learning web API, so pardon me if my question sounds stupid.

I have this in my StudentController:

public HttpResponseMessage          


        

Answer 1

I spend several hours with this issue... :( Getters and setters are REQUIRED in POST parameters object declaration. I do not recommend using simple data objects (string,int, ...) as they require special request format.

[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage PostProcedure(EdiconLogFilter filter){
...
}

Does not work when:

public class EdiconLogFilter
{
    public string fClientName;
    public string fUserName;
    public string fMinutes;
    public string fLogDate;
}

Works fine when:

public class EdiconLogFilter
{
    public string fClientName { get; set; }
    public string fUserName { get; set; }
    public string fMinutes { get; set; }
    public string fLogDate { get; set; }
}
