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 was also trying to use the [FromBody], however, I was trying to populate a string variable because the input will be changing and I just need to pass it along to a backend service but this was always null

Post([FromBody]string Input]) 

So I changed the method signature to use a dynamic class and then convert that to string

Post(dynamic DynamicClass)
{
   string Input = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DynamicClass);

This works well.
