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

In my case the problem was the DateTime object I was sending. I created a DateTime with "yyyy-MM-dd", and the DateTime that was required by the object I was mapping to needed "HH-mm-ss" aswell. So appending "00-00" solved the problem (the full item was null because of this).
